In this issue

Hazards are natural. Disasters are not. Hazards turn into disasters when death and destruction occur as a result of human factors such as land use and architecture. When the government fails to plan, developers short-change their clients with substandard design, and architects neglect basic principles of resiliency, life and property are lost. In this issue, BluPrint explores the relationship between design and disasters. On the cover is BAAD Studio’s intensity-9 proof house, built on the rolling hills of Antipolo. We also dissect Buensalido + Architects’ Project Smart Home in flood-prone Marikina, and why potential buyers are turned off despite its sensible flood-proof features. Reporting from the front, UN-Habitat urban planner David Garcia recounts how Guiuan, the first town ravaged by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, managed to get back on its feet one year after and pulled off a successful zero-casualty response to Typhoon Hagupit in 2014.
