The refugee tent-linings developed by a team of researchers from Cambridge University, including Rachel
Battilana who graduated from the Department last year, are about to be tested in Afghanistan. The story hit
the headlines last week, on the BBC's on-line news page in the
science and technology section.
Rachel's project on the 'Design of a Cold Climate
Emergency Shelter for Refugees' which she worked on in conjunction with members of the School of
Architecture, was praised for demonstrating the compassionate face of civil engineering today. She is now
working for the civil engineering firm, Buro Happold, where she has a continuing interest in this
project. |
