Hi
I just want to point to the article about humanitarian design by Bruce
Nussbaum from July 2010.
He was surprise that sometimes the american aid regarding humanitarian
design to the developed world, were not welcome at all.
This lead to the questioning if this american ou europeian humanitarian
design was not some sort of new Imperialism.

I wrote also an article in portuguese about it, since Brazil as the new
"Eldorado" is atracting foreigners designers to solve our local problems.
Last week D-Lab from MIT was here in Brazil to develop new partnerships.
