One of the founding members of Bristol, Tuck, Bloodworth & Associates, the Architectural firm that is now a household name, Lauren Bristol was one of those who helped the world get back on its feet whenever disasters struck, leading humanitarian teams in to help repair the damage, as part of the firms' voluntary work.

The Australian Deluge, The Parisian Incident; Tragedies that will live in our memories forever. The monuments and surrounding cityscapes designed by Lauren will forever be a haunting and beautiful reminder of those that were lost, and the strength of humans to pull together and get back on our feet.
