Being a world leader in engineering ingenuity, Japan has been actively pushing for disaster-resilient infrastructure.

And to inspire architects to step up and be more active in disaster preparations, The Japan Foundation, in cooperation with the University of the Philippines Diliman and its Asian Center, the Embassy of Japan and the Japan International Cooperation Agency, presented How did Architects Respond Immediately after 3/11 (The Great East Japan Earthquake) on June 9. It will run until July 14.

The exhibit at the GT-Toyota Hall of Wisdom, Asian Center Museum in UP Diliman includes project summaries, drawings and photographs, videos and models, and furniture and cardboard shelters. It underlined the fact that when faced with a natural catastrophe, architecture is ultimately a frail entity.

Speaking to attendees, The Japan Foundation-Manila director Shuji Takatori said they wanted to show architects how the Japanese responded to the severe and extensive destruction caused by the magnitude-9 Tohoko earthquake and tsunami, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, on March 3, 2011.

Dr. Reuben Caete, curator of the Asian Center Museum, said that since Filipinos share with the Japanese experiences of earthquakes, tsunamis and storms, and given the advancement of Japan over the country, it is necessary for us to follow in their foot steps. We will learn a lot from them.

Inspiring others to act

Advances in quake-resistant architecture significantly reduced the damage, but the quake-triggered tsunami struck a 500-kilometer section of the coastline and devastated countless towns. Breakwaters were destroyed; a huge number of wooden houses were swept away; and, in some instances, reinforced concrete and steel-framed buildings collapsed.

Many organizations including architects groups, university laboratories and the Japan Institute of Architects launched projects and surveys dealing with a variety of subjects.

The Bushies are back.

With the news that a militant Islamic group has seized parts of Iraq, key members of former President George W. Bushs nationalsecurity team who served as architects of the 2003 war there have reappeared -- to either criticize the Obama administration or advocate for another round of intervention in the country.

"The policies of the last six years have left American diminished and weakened. Our enemies no longer fear us. Our allies no longer trust us," former Vice President Cheney says in a new video.

Additionally, he and his daughter, Liz Cheney, penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed, arguing: "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

And it's just not the Cheneys.

Former Bush Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said on MSNBC Tuesday that the United States has an obligation to stop what he said is an Al Qaeda-linked group. "This is about preventing another 9/11."

And Paul Bremer, the Bush administration's envoy to Iraq, said that the U.S. might need troops on the ground in Iraq. Im not in favor of sending combat forces into Iraq at the moment, he said on Monday. But I can well imagine that we would have to have some troops on the ground.

With Team Bush's return to the spotlight on Iraq, Democrats are responding with incredulity. Why, they ask, are the people who launched war in Iraq in the first place -- when their claims of the country having weapons of mass destruction turned out to be untrue -- even allowed to criticize the Obama administration?

"If there's one thing that this country does not need, it's that we should be taking advice from Dick Cheney on wars," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor on Wednesday. "Being on the wrong side of Dick Cheney is being on the right side of history."

There were only two emails sitting in Henk Ovinks inbox when he entered his New York City office on July 19, 2013. One was from a concrete company; the other from an artist in Arizona. Both were entries for his design competition to rebuild storm-damaged New York and New Jersey and protect the community from another Hurricane Sandy. But neither fit the contest criteria. He had expected at least 50 to 75 entries in this competition. And that day was the deadline.

But by lunch, there were 24. And they kept pouring in. By 6 p.m., 148 teams of architects, engineers, scientists and designers from around the world had submitted their flood protection plans for the New York City area.

In this report that aired in October 2013, Miles OBrien reports on high-tech infrastructure adjustments in New York City after Hurricane Sandy.

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy hammered the New York and New Jersey coasts with eight-foot storm surges, killing 117 people, destroying whole communities and causing an estimated $71 billion in damage for the two states.

Ovink, a Dutch designer who had worked in the Netherlands building for sea level rise and flooding, is a senior advisor to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan and President Obamas Hurricane Sandy Recovery Task Force. Climate change and resulting storms like Hurricane Sandy is forcing engineers, architects and governments to change how we live with water, Ovink said. In the future, flood protection and rebuilding needs to encompass be more than simply putting up a wall, he said.

Its a paradigm shift from seeing water as a threat and just wanting to be protected to saying water is part of our life. Living with the water is a better perspective to moving forward, he said.

He and Donovan collaborated to create Rebuild by Design, a competition that challenged designers to collaborate with communities hit by Hurricane Sandy to develop innovative ideas to protect the New York and New Jersey shoreline. After receiving the applications, they divided the 148 applicants into 10 interdisciplinary teams. Each team was asked to form a coalition with their sites surrounding community leaders, businessmen and residents to guide their design.

We didnt want a design team that goes to the community and says, Heres a golden egg. We wanted a collaboration that had a base in those communities and that could be innovative and come up with sustainable solutions, Ovink said.
