Our interview this week features our latest guest professor, Paul Cabrera, an architect from Mexico who works for Medecins Sans Fronteres (Doctors Without Borders) in their Spanish headquarters in Barcelona. As the technical referent for construction and relief, Paul oversees the construction and rehabilitation process of any facilities in the places where MSF-Spain conducts their emergency operations.
The objective of the workshop was to give our students the tools necessary to effectively plan the site for displacement camps in different scenarios, follow the correct steps to create emergency setups, and participate actively in emergency situations through water and sanitation activities.
Don’t miss our last post featuring the Small Constructions Manual that Paul edited in collaboration with two of our last year’s students, and watch his interview during the workshop below.
