ABSTRACT
Currently, migration flows caused by the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa is a constant daily life that successively invades the European political, economic and social discussion that tries, most effectively and operatively, to respond to this growing problem. The migratory and humanitarian crisis has increased significantly over the past few years, reflecting that many people have lost their place to live and have risked everything, including sometimes their lives, in the search for a new place to live. As a result, there is an increasing need to organize hosting places, known as refugee camps, to shelter these populations temporarily, but which often become permanent homes.
The present approach sets out a reflection on this problematic, by reading the status of dwelling and its reinvention before the contingencies of mutability and the dynamics of the hosting places. As well as a study of design solutions aims to provide refugees with a shelter that allows them to rebuild their quality of life and recover a sense of belonging, restructuring their existential – mental, and emotional capacities. This action is supported by a project strategy based on a temporary, sustainable, and flexible architecture adapted to different intervention contexts.
