Description
This issue of Volume is largely based on a two-day symposium ‘how do we materialize peace’ held at the NAI in Rotterdam in 2010. The symposium was the kick-off to explore potentials of architecture in the field of post-conflict reconstruction. Awareness, good practice and knowledge exchange are all part of the project with pragmatism as the guiding rule.
How do we materialize peace? On the level of fundamental and basic needs, global society more or less knows what is wrong, and what to to do about it. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience in relief and first aid organizations, as there is with architects. We’re ready to intervene in conflict areas, to fight for peace, but what are we to do next? Experts seem agreed on strategies, but are the architects and politicians ready for the long-haul?
