Reinhard Goethert presented the experiences from the previous SIGUS workshops related to urban migration to the Visual Arts Program. The migrants in the Third World and their impact on urban development was explored using examples from Manila, Philippines; Lima, Peru; and other rapidly growing cities. Focus was on the shelter options and choices which are made by migrants at each stage in their urban assimilation.

The presentation was part of the series "4.381/4.366 Advanced Visual Design - Give Me Shelter: Conditions of Living in Unstable Times"
