2019 Architecture & the City Festival | SF

Aftermath looks at the ways in which Christchurch took the opportunity after a massive earthquake to completely re-think the city’s design, focusing on long-term structural and environmental sustainability and livability, with the help and input of ordinary citizens, politicians, planners, and designers. After the screening, structural engineer Ruchika Kaur, who worked in Christchurch immediately after the earthquake, will discuss earthquake resiliency, particularly with respect to San Francisco.

This film will be preceded by a short film, (dis)connected, directed by Maria Jaakkola (2015), 10 mins.
