Tsunami Box - Gerald Melling

Tsunami box tells the story of an architectural journey into the heady tropics of emergency housing in Sri Lanka, following the Asian tsunami of 2004. Architect and author Gerald Melling travels to Sri Lanka at the beginning of 2006 and through a mix of serendipity and persistence comes to be the main architect for a new post-tsunami village.

With tenacious commitment, an eye for detail, and a reckless sense of humour, Gerald Melling launches fundamental ideas about architecture onto the troubled waters of post-tsunami re-construction. They sink, of course, but not without a trace – this book offers genuine insight into the nature of ‘good intentions’ and the anatomy of a useful architecture.
