Leslie Voltaire, the UN’s Special Envoy to Haiti and lead planner for the Haitian Government’s reconstruction plans, as well as the Institute for Urban Design’s guest at the June 4, 2010 symposium Rebuilding a Sustainable Haiti, will return to New York today, July 12, to speak at the launch of the ARCHIVE Institute’s Kay e Sante nan Ayiti (Housing and Health in Haiti) design competition. The competition will recognize the six-month anniversary of the earthquake that devastated Haiti earlier this year by calling on architects, engineers, health specialists, and the general public to pool together their knowledge and submit housing designs which can mitigate transmission of airborne diseases like tuberculosis (TB). The event, which will also feature Housing Works CEO Charles King, will take place from 6:00-8:00 PM at CCNY’s Manhattan Campus in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture’s Sciame Auditorium (160 Convent Avenue).
