• Resumen

  • In both developed and developing countries, medical emergencies caused by the effects of climate change, earthquakes, war or terrorism can wreak havoc with healthcare infrastructure. Where hospitals are lacking, or existing ones are overburdened or put out of action, prefabricated transportable solutions are indispensable for rebuilding afflicted communities. Stephen Verderber – a current Professor at the University of Toronto and former Professor in the Graduate Program in Architecture + Health at Clemson University in South Carolina – gives examples of the types of systems that exist, and highlights key considerations to be taken into account by those involved in their design.
