Short description of the competition
Project Earth 2 wants to propose a different approach towards refugees and refugee camps. Rather than conceiving refugee camps as storage facilities to fulfill basic human needs and refugees as temporary inhabitants, we encourage you to zoom out and consider the refugee camps as an instrument and an opportunity to activate deserted areas of Europe. Design refugee camps as stable settlements and as a changing structure that can grow, adapt and develop. How refugee camps can be flexible and grow in an organized way as their population increase? How can they transform from a temporary shelter into a stable settlement, providing proper living conditions and becoming the cities of tomorrow?
Solutions created by participants will be delivered to organizations and NGO working on-site, aiming at implementing them.
Our jury is formed by skilled architects with experience working in institutions such as UNHCR, Architects without borders or New Town Institute (NL)
