House of Hope, Haiti, 2014
/ HOUSE OF HOPE HAITI
The challenge was to help House of Hope Childrenâ??s Centre who were at the very earliest stages of considering how to rebuild their orphanage following the Haiti earthquake in 2010.
Students produced four sophisticated and detailed thesis projects as part of their design studio course work. The only commitment we were entitled to make at this time was to offer our work as a means for the client and supporters to raise money and awareness.
â??The work that the students produced did help in some small measure - in concept and confidence building if not in the detail of the proposals. House of Hope (has) managed to purchase some land and, with help from Friends of HOH, build a couple of â??transitional sheltersâ? as a starter.â??
