Frame and Form

Unfortunately once again a humanitarian catastrophe has created thousands of refugees. For decades, designers have thought and re-designed a solution to provide emergency shelter to those affected by natural disaster, war or socio-economic imbalances. The solutions vary widely, from prefabricated structures and shipping containers to simple sheets of polyurethane. But in reality, as noted The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in its guidelines on emergency materials, these proposals have not worked effectively in its work to protect and give temporary shelter to thousands of thousands of displaced, An effective solution is yet to be designed.
