Für den aktuellen Perry Rhodan-Band 3351 habe ich den "NEXUS" gezeichnet, eine Begegnungsstätte auf dem Mond unserer Erde. Die Romanhandlung wurde von Kai Hirdt nach Vorgaben von Ben Calvin Hary verfasst. Die Technikvorgabe für die Risszeichnung stammt von Verena Themsen.

On 29 August 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana. The storm caused catastrophic flooding in New Orleans. Nearly all residents evacuated, not all returned. The recovery was complicated by disparate planning attempts. TOPOS published my series on snapshots of the city, link in comments

Katrina at 20: The failure of initiative in Katrina's wake was also due to the dysfunctional response of FEMA. An international comparison offers context. I compared the US, Australia, Germany, and the Philippines for a publication of the German Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning BBSR

Katrina at 20: Evacuation is a common strategy to protect populations from disasters. Is it possible to "design" such a process, giving people a choice on their involuntary displacement once they have been evacuated? My contribution was published in Yana Milev's "Design Anthropology".

Katrina at 20: For German architecture magazine BAUWELT, I reviewed new approaches to environmentally sound urban planning from the office of Waggonner & Ball Architects in New Orleans ten years after Katrina. Their inspiring projects aim at living with, and not against the water.

Katrina at 20: On 29 August 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana and caused catastrophic flooding in New Orleans. Nearly all residents evacuated, not all returned. For PLANERIN I discussed the displacement of New Orleanians to Houston in comparison to displacement in Ukraine.

Katrina at 20: In 2009 I interviewed Laura Paul of lowernine.org for the first time. Our conversation continued over the years. In 2021 this interview on recovery, food security and community development was published by TOPOS magazine – see images for full text

There you have it. Old Oil lobbying = "slow the energy transition and entrench society’s dependence on fossil fuels." Link in the comments

Katrina at 20: Cities, disaster, planning for cities, planning for disaster = horribly difficult. Return to normal = not good, building back better = definitely better. Interested?

Katrina at 20: Long term evacuation after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans led to the Lot Next Door program. It worked well in low-density neighborhoods with suitable return rates, but it didn't where the return rate was too low.

The Kvarteret Ortdrivaren in Kiruna, designed by Ralph Erskine, is an example for a climate-proof housing complex in the far north. It is also a fantastic architectural ensemble. We visited it in 2016. The complex was demolished 2023-2024.

Kiruna Church, designed by Gustaf Wickmann and completed in 1912, will be moved to its new location today. Joachim Schultz-Granberg and I visited Kiruna in 2016, our report was published by TOPOS magazine

Katrina at 20: After the storm, a Citywide Plan was created. The Lower Ninth Ward was defined as "Policy Area C", emphasizing targeted, clustered redevelopment. This did not do justice to the social and spatial context of the neighborhoods, as I argue in my paper
