This is How Design Saves

MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières) or Doctors Without Borders has set up inflatable hospitals in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The hospital will provide 100 beds to many of those wounded in the earthquake. MSF also has more than 700 staff members on site to provide assistance.

MSF Logistics Supervisor - Laurent Dedieu

"9 tents, 100 beds, including hospitalization and ICU and recovery beds. A triage and emergency tent, and two operations theatres. The idea is that within the tent we have a complete kit we can deploy including energy supply, water supply, all the sanitation, and all medical equipment inside the tent. In Haiti, everything needed to run a hospital including beds and biomedical equipment is included.

We want to be as autonomous as possible with regard to energy. In this case we have one 30 KV generator and one 60 KV generator. Plus an electrical board, and equipment to ensure electrical safety. And then you have all the electrical wire you need to set up lights inside the ward, and set up plugs for the medical equipment."

Signs of Hope

Hello 2010,

To post about nonsensical designer items during times of despair is something I don't want to do. Instead I will be showcasing how people are helping one another. There is design with purpose and worth praise. Let me start highlighting the real designers and the real architects.

I am done slaving for the rich. I want to help the people. I want my designs to save lives.

Lets be progressive! God is the original architect/designer. Amen!

Jesus Walk With Me!!

I would appreciate it if one of my favorite musicians bounces back and make inspirational/positive music like he did with Jesus Walks. Look at some of the lyrics.

We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves

God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
Well let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins

Enough with the heartbreak music, lets get back to what is right. To serve the Lord and grow his kingdom. I try to avoid all the bad music on radio, but oftentimes there is so much I just turn it off. I'm I the only one finding evil everywhere I turn to? I do appreciate Ricky Smiley and Steve Harvey but can DJ Laz put some more gospel into his shows?

Launching a Chair into OuterSpace!! Legal?

This made me a bit dizzy as I am scared of heights. I tagged God because he is everywhere.

Drawing Cities from Memory!!

Stephen Wilshire has the incredible ability to view a scene of an entire city and draw it from memories. Now only does he remember but he is a great artist.

HYPE For Hype Williams!!

Hype Williams has been directing videos since I can remember MTV. I enjoy the Amazing piece because its a video about how beautiful nature is untouched. It was filmed in Kauai, Hawaii.

The Story of Jesus Rocks!!

Allow me to reintroduce myself

So I am back in Miami after some abroad architecture experience in Dubai. I must say there isn't a better place to be than a city full of great culture and opportunities. With my family back in my life after 6 years apart (School + Work). I am learning to balance my personal and business life. My new company Urbaniza Realty and SASSI Asset Management has helped expand my knowledge in Design and Construction, and even the politics of Miami.

I created this blog because I am excited to share my thoughts and ideas with my friends on the professional, social, and spiritual level. My intentions are to keep you posted on matters that may pertain to you or that you are oblivious to. Just know that I will be 100% truthful.

To briefly mention the "recession", I want people to know that no matter what you're going through that it doesn't give you a reason to give up. Money is paper and nothing more. Keep your friends and family close to your heart and don't forget God is always here to help.

So lets get ready for some blogging. Peace
