Wainwright, Oliver. “Why Ikea's Flatpack Refugee Shelter Won Design of the Year.” The Guardian, Guardian News and Media, 27 Jan. 2017, www.theguardian.com
- This article opened my eyes to how big the refugee crisis is. I realized that the issue goes beyond just house design, it is greatly dependant on politics and other large external factors. Additionally I realized there are many other issues like safety and finances.
Franco, José. “These Schools for Refugee Children in Jordan Are Built Using Scaffolding and Sand.” ArchDaily, ArchDaily , 27 July 2015, www.archdaily.com
- While I read through many articles about the refugee crisis I came across this idea which was to use natural materials to create housing. I found that this idea opens up a new dimension of housing options for refugees.
Gibson, Eleanor. “Humanitarian Experts Propose Turning Refugee Camps into Enterprise Zones Called ‘Refugee Cities.’” Dezeen, Dezeen, 12 Dec. 2016, www.dezeen.com
- This article suggested the idea that refugee camps would be more efficient and sustainable if they were built near existing infrastructure. This helps address this issue that refugee camps are built for short-term purposes but people inhabit them for long durations of time.
Honnold, Alex. “The Calculus of Climbing at the Edge.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 19 Nov. 2014, www.nytimes.com
- While I was working on my risk essay I read multiple short pieces written by professional climber, Alex Honnold. His ideas around risk are very clear and articulate which help me structure my own ideas. In this essay I wrote about the marginal decisions which can greatly affect the risk of a climb.
Honnold, Alex. “What Risk Means After Dean Potter.” Time, Time, 28 May 2015, time.com/3898371/alex-honnold-dean-potter-climbing/.
- This was another piece from Honnold which discussed the recent death of a close friend. In his essay he compared risk taking with the quality of our lives. In the essay I wrote, I used a passage from this piece.
Kennedy , Hayden. “Facing the Monster .” Rock and Ice, 10 Oct. 2017, rockandice.com/features/facing-monster-hayden-kennedy/.
- Hayden Kennedy was a big figure in my essay. Prior to his death he did lots of writing about the philosophical side of climbing. Through pieces like this, I began to understand his mindset when taking risks.
Kennedy, Hayden. “The Day We Sent Logical Progression.” Evening Sends, 11 Feb. 2018, eveningsends.com/the-day-we-sent-logical-progression/.
- This was arguable one of the strongest pieces I read this quarter. Kennedy's thoughts were so clear and direct that I struggled to find any piece more articulate about risk-taking than this. In my final essay I referenced this piece and incorporated a passage from it.
Krakauer, Jon. Into Thin Air. Anchor Books, 1999.
- Into Thin Air was my main book I read for my English study this quarter. It was a book I was planning on reading at some point this year and when it came time to write my risk essay it fit perfectly into my study. Prior to reading it I heard many great reviews of it and I was encouraged by many people to read it. In the end, Into Thin Air lived up to the hype.
McKnight, Jenna. “Architects Create Low-Cost Hexagon Refugee Houses.” Dezeen, Dezeen, 17 May 2016, www.dezeen.com
- I discovered this article when I began researching housing designs for the refugee crisis. It was one of many designs I found that utilized space and was cost effective. As I go forward in writing about the issue I will reference ideas and concepts mentioned within this article.
Nathan, Tara. “The Future of Refugee Camps? Smart Cities.” World Economic Forum, 31 Aug. 2017, www.weforum.org
- This was another article which discusses the idea of turning refugee camps into refugee cities.
Powell, Michael. “Scaling the World's Most Lethal Mountain, in the Dead of Winter.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 9 May 2017, www.nytimes.com
- During my exploration of climbing philosophy I came across a more current story about a Polish team preparing to climb K2 this winter. A winter summit had never been achieved and to this day it remains as the only 8000 meter peak not to be summited in the winter. The article broke down the dynamic of the team while also tracing back to the origins of mountain climbing and the history of the risky sport. A month after reading the article I learned that the team was unsuccessful in reaching the summit.
“Redesigning Refugee Communities.” UNHCR Innovation, The United Nations , 29 June 2017, www.unhcr.org
- This was an article from the United Nations about the state of the refugee crisis and possible solutions to make positive changes. Through research they found an importance in creating communal places within camps for refugees to connect and live.
Rich, Nathaniel. “The Risky Appeal of Free Climbing.” The Atlantic, Atlantic Media Company, 3 Nov. 2015, www.theatlantic.com
- This piece was written about one of Alex Honnold's free solos from a few years back. The article went into the mindset of Honnold as he went about climbing up an exposed cliff. This article helped me gain a new perspective on risk taking in climbing.
Richards , Cory. “Cory Richards- Adventurers of the Year.” National Geographic, 9 Nov. 2011, www.nationalgeographic.com
- This was an interview with Cory Richards after he was named as National Geographic's “Adventurer of the Year” back in 2011. The interview broke down a recent winter climbing ascent of an 8000 meter peak in Pakistan earlier that year. At the time he was the first American to summit an 8000 meter peak during winter. In the interview he also discussed his attraction to mountains and mountain climbing.
Richards, Cory, and Mark Jenkins. “After Summiting Mt. Everest, He Returned Home to Face His Demons.” National Geographic, National Geographic, 9 May 2017, www.nationalgeographic.com
- A few years after the previous interview, this article was realised detailing the struggles Richards faced with alcohol and substance abuse in the midst of his climbing career. Following his Everest summit without the use of supplemental oxygen Richards struggled with his daily life back at home. Throughout the article he referenced that this had been an ongoing issue throughout his life and that mountain climbing was/is one of the only things that keeps him sane.
Roff, Chelsea. “I Volunteered in a Refugee Camp. These Are The Stories You Won't See on TV.” The Huffington Post, TheHuffingtonPost.com, 1 June 2016, www.huffingtonpost.com
- This article was view into the harsh realities of life inside a refugee camp. My first writing piece about the refugee crisis will be similar to the format of this.
Sanzaro, Francis. “Keep Our Mountains Free. And Dangerous.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 13 Jan. 2018, www.nytimes.com
- I came across this article when I was researching how climbing has evolved throughout the years. Through Sanzaro’s findings I realized how the climbing community is against taking away the origins of the sport.
Sengupta, Somini, and Henry Fountain. “The Biggest Refugee Camp Braces for Rain: 'This Is Going to Be a Catastrophe'.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 14 Mar. 2018, www.nytimes.com
- This was a recent article I read about a large issue facing the refugee crisis. This article shows the importance of creating quality and efficient shelters to minimise the threat of other problems.
Wainwright, Oliver. “Why Ikea's Flatpack Refugee Shelter Won Design of the Year.” The Guardian, Guardian News and Media, 27 Jan. 2017, www.theguardian.com
- When I was searching for housing designs, the Ikea Flatpack was mentioned in nearly every article I read. The design is simple, sleek, and cost effective. From what I read, it seems to be the future for sustainable refugee housing.

Thoreau, Henry David. Walden. N.p.: Dent, 1910. Print.
- I read this article as part of my social studies study to find connections between Minimalism and Buddhism. This article helped me understand the origins of minimalist thinking and how my own minimalist traits connect to larger ideas.

Diedricksen, Derek. Micro Shelters: 59 Creative Cabins, Tiny Houses, Tree Houses, and Other Small Structures. N.p.: Storey, 2015. Print.
- I have used Micro Shelters throughout the semester to develop my designs and get a greater insight in stories around building tiny homes. Additionally it has helped me find new, cost efficient materials to use while building the home. I also have had fun just flipping through the book and reading others take on the Tiny House movement.
“Frozen Alive Redux.” Outside Online, Mariah Media Network, 9 Nov. 2017, www.outsideonline.com/2258976/frozen-alive-redux.
- This was one of many Outside Magazine podcasts I have listened to this semester. I found this one particularly interesting because of the use of concrete details and descriptions. Between drafts of my grizzly essay I would listen to these podcasts to generate new ideas for my writing.
Guertin, Mike, and Rick Arnold. Precision Framing. Taunton Press, 2002.
- I have used this book as my textbook for building the Tiny House. It contains all the information I need, basic and complex, to frame walls floors and everything in between. Before moving onto building a new element of the house I often refer to a chapter that outlines the task in this book.
“Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter.” The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Modern Art, 22 Jan. 2017, www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1653.
- I read and looked though this exhibit at the MoMA as I searched for sustainable refugee housing resources. After reading this I decided I would like to spend a portion of the third quarter researching the refugee housing crisis with the goal of eventually writing something about it.
Kahn, Lloyd. Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter: Scaling Back in the 21st Century. N.p.: Shelter Publications, 2012. Print.
- During the start of the semester I used this book to generate new ideas around design aspects of the Tiny House. For the most part I read sections of this book to keep me busy in school when I could not be building. From these readings I learned many new stories that helped me see what I should expect when I build the house.

- I read this short article right before beginning my grizzly narrative. The primary use of this was just to see writing which is very similar to my own and how the author went about telling the story.
Kuo, Lily. “A Minimalist Japanese Architect Is Designing Homes for Refugees.” Quartz, Quartz Media, 24 July 2017, qz.com/1036808/a-minimalist-japanese-architect-is-designing-housing-for-refugees-in-kenya-that-they-can-build-themselves
- This was another article I read as part of my social studies study on sustainable refugee housing. Next quarter and semester I will work more with this issue as I take my research deeper.
Millburn, Joshua, and Ryan Nicodemus. “Minimalism: An Elevator Pitch.” The Minimalists, 11 July 2015, www.theminimalists.com/pitch/.
- This was a piece written by The Minimalists which gave a very broad definition of what minimalism is to them. I enjoyed this piece because the writing was very clear and concise which added to the minimalist theme they were describing.
Skenazy, Matt, and Chris Solomon. “Climbers Hayden Kennedy and Inge Perkins Die.” Outside Online, Outside Magazine , 10 Oct. 2017, www.outsideonline.com/2248691/climber-hayden-kennedy-dies.
- This was a very interesting article about recent the death of a famous climber. It raised many questions of risk versus reward. From this article I have decided the next writing piece I will be doing as part of my English study which is about the tipping point of risk. Stay tuned next semester to find out more.
Stacke, Sarah. “Life Inside Hong Kong’s ‘Coffin Cubicles.’” National Geographic, National Geographic Society, 26 July 2017, www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/proof/2017/07/hong-kong-living-trapped-lam-photos/
- I found this to be an interesting article (with many, many pictures) about non deliberate minimalist living. This also explained how the housing crisis is very prominent across asia, specifically in Hong Kong.
Thoreau, Henry David. Walden. N.p.: Dent, 1910. Print.
- I have been reading Walden on a weekly basis throughout the semester. Through my readings I have noted down important quotations, sections that speak to me or my study, and things that I enjoy about Thoreau’s writing style. His description, and clear voice he uses in his writing has inspired me to implement those traits into my own writing.
