In times of crisis and conflict, design can be a powerful force for recovery. As part of DC Design Week, Benevolent Media and AIGA DC hosted a discussion with leaders in the fields of communication design, technology, multimedia journalism and architecture to learn how designers of all disciplines can contribute to the prevention and relief of the devastating effects of natural and human disasters worldwide. The event was held in part to commemorate the United Nations International Day for Disaster Reduction.
