What is the link between disasters and design? Can a new design actually mean something in situations where natural disasters are often occurring? Can a place or a building mean something in the post disasters recovery process? Starting from the original enchantment about the power of nature transformed into a disaster when interfering with the human sphere, the theoretical research part of the thesis, went on further in researching disasters causes and effects focusing on the aftermath. The analytic work introduces to understand what happens after a major natural disaster hit a country. What are the natural dynamics that a country have to face to cope with the hazard and continue life in the aftermath? Dynamics of post disaster concern every aspect of human life, especially if the destruction have been of a great extent like happened in Haiti.
