DESCRIPTION:*Venue: LECTURE ROOM 1*\n\n*Abstract:*\nDisaster recovery pose
 s a dilemma for political leaders and related professionals: to rebuild th
 e status-quo or grasp opportunities for reform?  A further challenge conce
 rns balancing 'sectoral integration' of physical recovery with psycho-soci
 al\, economic\, environmental and governmental recovery processes.  The 'a
 rchitecture of recovery' also relates to the form\, structure and organisa
 tion of the processes of recovery management. Examples will be highlighted
  of successful reconstruction as well as some dismal failures and suggesti
 ons will be made for recovery architecture that is safer and better than f
 ailed dwellings\, villages\, towns\, cities or regions. \n\n*Biography:*\n
