Quality Design for Health Care Facilities in Emerging Countries. Case studies in Africa Symposium

International experts in a variety of fields, not only architects, will be meeting in Reggio Emilia on October 23-24 2015 for a symposium on Quality Design for Health Care Facilities in Emerging Countries. Case studies in Africa.
The symposium, presented by Luca Molinari, is organised by the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and the City of Reggio Emilia with the support of Fondazione E*35, EMERGENCY, TAMassociati and the Order of Architects of the Province of Reggio Emilia to present architectural projects for treatment, education and hospitality in Africa.
Despite the difficulties involved in working in areas often marred by conflict and poverty, these projects are examples of best practice: quality architecture which demonstrates respect for its surroundings and users, and above all promotes human rights, restoring the discipline’s important role in society.
The starting point for the seminar is Emergency’s Salam Heart Surgery Centre designed by TAMassociati and built in Khartoum, Sudan, winner of the 2013 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
