SAARCH 2008
SAARCH- South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation of Architects
SAARCH was founded in the year 1991
in Colombo with the objective of assisting the development of national
architectural institute bodies within the South Asian Region so that it would
provide opportunities for consultation on holding of conferences of architects
to discuss professional matters and interchange ideas. SAARCH was granted "SAARC
recognised body status" in May 1997. It has held several conferences in the
region which includes the recent ones like SAARCH 2002, SAARCH 2004 and SAARCH
2006 held at Kathmandu, Karachi and Dhaka respectively.
THEME
Safe Built
Environment
SAARC Region
With the growing incidences of natural
disasters in the region causing losses to human lives and scarce Housing stock,
it is time that the Architectural Profession in the Region does an introspection
within itself and prepares to take on the challenging task of innovating design
solutions to support the Governments and the Society at large in preparing
themselves to brace against these growing disasters.
The seminar is proposed to have a very
detailed introspection in the related issues to help the delegates to start
working in the direction of preparing the fellow Architects for their role in
Designing of Safe Built Environment in the Region that shall be able to
withstand the natural disasters better, thus, protecting the human lives and
minimizing damages to the built environment.
