The Design path


Hosting Countries provide refugees with camps that come in many different shapes and forms,
Some are provided with flat packs:




-Are very expensive
-Take time to be shipped over






Some are provided with constructed camps:

-Better at keeping refugees safe
-May be easily targeted from outsiders
-Take a long time and effort for construction
-Are very expensive






Some are provided with elementary forms of camps:




- Fragile
- Unsafe








others are provided with nothing but land & its nature:




-Time & effort consuming
-Fragile
-Unsafe







Generally life at camp can be extremely difficult due to... 
                                                     - resources provided
- new habitat/ environment/ culture
                                                     - Previous encountered trauma
            - the feeling of un-protection and insecurity
 - Isolation (feeling of inprisionment)


After reviewing all my research i came to a conclusion of what refugees actually need -A REFUGEE CAMP & A COMMUNITY  SYSTEM-

-Provide ease to the refugees
-Calm & stress free environment
-Engage in activity rather than sit and wait
-To have surroundings ( remove the feeling of isolation)
-Camps that are cheap in construction yet strong
-Rely on themselves rather than others
-Provides safety, security & Personal space
-Long term system
-Remove the idea of gates, fences & barbed wires (they are not prisoned)
