Back issues RIBA steps in to aid victims of the Hungarian uprising in their time of need

摘要

The RIBA council has agreed that the institute should act as a "clearing house" for the settlement of refugee architects from Hungary following the Soviet invasion of the country in November. It is anticipated that the problem will be threefold. The immediate and emergency problem will be to find temporary accommodation, which must include board and lodging over Christmas and into the new year. The aim will be to get people out of transit camps and into an English home where they can more rapidly learn the language. The second problem will be to find jobs for qualified men and to get students settled at schools of architecture.
