ABSTRACT
Nathaniel Corum an architect with degrees from Stanford and the University of Texas at Austin, is the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship and a Rose Architectural Fellowship. He collaborates with international teams and diverse communities on planning and design/build projects as the Head of Education Outreach at Architecture for Humanity and as a Senior ECPA Fellow under the auspices of the US Department of State, Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas. Nathaniel is a member of the art collaborative SPURSE and the Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative. Corum is also author of Building a straw bale house from Princeton Architectural Press in 2005. The interviews and supporting essays show built environment professionals collaborating with post-disaster communities as facilitators, collaborators and negotiators of land, space and shelter, rather than as 'save the world' modernists, as often portrayed in the design media.
