Transitional Shelters in Haiti

Architecture for Humanity's Heidi Arnold is studying the various T-Shelters that are being put into use for the internally displaced population in Haiti. Where tents and tarps were distributed en masse following the devastating earthquake in January, the next step is to rebuild temporary housing for those whose homes were destroyed.
