Speaking at Conference Place and Displacement

A 1-day summit at NYU in New York, which brings together various diplomats, representatives from the United Nations, eminent architects, and academics from Harvard, Oxford, Columbia, NYU amongst others, to present and discuss displacement issues faced by individuals living in refugee settlements. Framed by a design competition – Place and Displacement, which asked teams to envision a marketplace for refugees in three places, the summit brings together design and policy to encourage refugee agency. See Ideation World for more on speaker and details about the event. I am delighted to be moderating the discussion about Berlin, Germany and Europe.
