Over the last 18 months, Trans-City architecture and urbanism has developed a comprehensive plan for the reconstruction of Jacmel, a town in Haiti, based upon the concept of satellite cities located at the edge of the existing, earthquake-ravaged city centre (a concept developed in accordance with the universal design principals of the Housing Reconstruction Framework of the Haitian Government). The concept includes an urban masterplan, and a proposal for prefabricated houses, in which the building shell is industrially manufactured in Austria, and finished by local hand workers. In line with the content of the project, the architecture does not attempt to be spectacular. Rather, it is the holistic integration of the many levels of an urban system that makes this project interesting.
