I finished Chapter 2 and 4 of the homework assignment for the Resilient Design Class.\u00a0 Those were my assignments, and my two partners Rinki and Richu will each take two chapters.\u00a0 It was an eye-opening experience to think about life in the Phillipines with heat, humidity, typhoons, earthquakes and oh … did I forget… volcanoes?\u00a0 In fact, the Phillipines, sort of like Hawaii, was mostly formed from volcanoes.\u00a0 According to my research in the climate section, a typhoon in 1881 killed 20,000 people.\u00a0 Now that’s a typhoon.\u00a0 The latest one, Haiyan, was the strongest in recorded history.\u00a0 So I thought I’d share some pictures that I used in my chapters with you.\u00a0 Enjoy~<\/p>\n
