Ephemeral dwelling mechanisms
Within our contemporary context, one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, is the inability to provide sustainable, decent and equitable living conditions for the populations in condition of displacement and emergency. Although the capacity of solving global social and political crisis goes beyond the task of architecture, it is essencial that contemporary architects adopt a critical attitude towards the vulnerabilities in the design and production of dignified habitat for those sectors in need. The current refugee crisis, challenges in spatial terms, the response capacity of architecture to the necessity of shelter, not just in physical terms, but also through the creation of atmospheres that provide security, well-being and hope for those in condition of displacement. Therefore, the architectural reasearch is oriented to the conception of ephemeral dwelling mechanisms for refugees justified under the criteria of humanizing the architectural space, by recognizing the totality of the condition of the human as an individual and a social being. In this sense, the architectural proposal, despite its ephemeral character seeks to empower the user through individual expression and the entire community through social interaction.
