Siti Nurafaf Ismail, a 21-year-old Malaysian architecture student from the University of Malaya in Malaysia, won this year's thirteenth annual RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship for her proposal ‘Architecture of Humility.’ Her proposed project focuses on exploring the role of the architect within community architecture in natural disaster zones.
In this podcast, Siti give an update about her project and its developments. Having already completed the first phase of her research in Lombok, Indonesia she will now examine two other cities affected by natural disasters: Hokkaido in Japan and Karachi in Pakistan. Working with local volunteer organizations, Siti will be exploring each community’s rebuilding process first-hand and examining how architects fit into that experience.
