• Resumen

  • Jacob Borchers, winner of the Institution’s Pai Lin Li Travel Award 2016, used his grant to research the problems and complexity of implementing the design of seismic-resistant schools in rural Nepal. Numerous organisations face these issues as they attempt to rebuild the country in the wake of the 2015 earthquakes. The research is qualitative: based on interviews with experienced professionals and local residents; and on the observations of the author.
