Message from Architect Ashraf Salama:

My Dear Friends,

[...]
Now what is the role of the architect, how they can contribute. Please check the site http://archinect.com/emergency/
Archinect has united a range of detailed updates about schools willing to host Tulane architecture students; firms offering temporary employment to architects from the affected areas; as well as links to greater relief efforts by the Red Cross and Architecture for Humanity. Archinect has combined all of this with a lively discussion forum where anyone can post ideas, requests, or expressions of solidarity, grief, or hope.

You might be interested in having a look on how architects and academics in America are helping New Orleans architects and architecture students.

My Warmest regards,
Ashraf
