Author: CARDClimate disasters are no longer rare or unexpected. Yet the way we respond to them seems to remain reactive, fragmented, and overly focused on the immediate. In the fac e of this, architects have the ability to play a critical role in recovery; acting as strategic thinkers, facilitators, and advocates who can help communities navigate uncertainty.Through a series of essays, interviews, and photographs, ADAPT brings together voices from across architecture, academia, policy, and community organising to explore recovery as a human, complex and non-linear process. The work highlights how housing, governance, and risk intersect with trauma, inequality, and place, and asks how architects might engage more meaningfully with communities beyond, and before, climate disasters.Contributors include Carol Marra, David Sanderson, Elizabeth Mossop, Leeanne Marshall, Nikhila Madabhushi, Rachel Steffensen, Sean Lees, Christy Bryar, and Timothy Heffernan.ISBN 9780646744131.
