In September 2023, the city of Derna, Libya, faced an unprecedented tragedy. The collapse of two dams during Storm Daniel unleashed a wall of water that erased neighborhoods, claimed thousands of lives, and displaced tens of thousands more. As a researcher and architect deeply invested in the heritage and future of Libya, I felt a profound responsibility to address the critical question: What are the key architectural considerations for designing sustainable housing in a post-tragedy context like Derna?. My latest book chapter, "Rebuilding Resilience: Sustainable Housing Solutions for Post-Tragedy in Derna, Libya," published in Strategic Rebuilding and Affordable Housing in the Muslim World, explores this question through a pragmatic and qualitative lens. It proposes a holistic approach to reconstruction that integrates local community perspectives, traditional Libyan architectural heritage, and modern resilience strategies.
