Are you ready to get your new plumbing installed?

SHoP Architects Will Build 50 Resilient Schools In Nepal (And Share The Designs)
The structures are easy to construct, adaptable, and designed to survive future natural disasters.
In April 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal with an epicenter 50 miles outside of the capital, Kathmandu. Natural disasters of this scale are devastating, but some experts argued that unregulated construction compounded the damage and death toll. The New York-based firm SHoP Architects recently announced a partnership with two socially driven advocacy organizations, Kids of Kathmandu and the Asia Friendship Network, to aid in the rebuilding process by constructing 50 new schools in the hardest-hit areas.
