About the featured TEDTalk:
Peter Haas, co-founder the Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group, talks about the engineering flaws that caused massive casualties during the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Exactly one year later, the TEDxSMU Tuesday group will discuss why so many buildings collapsed and how engineers can rebuild the country, using better design and stronger materials.
