Design Student Proposes a Simple, Hook-Based System to Make Refugee Bunkers More Livable
omg its good or bad?
A little known or shamefully admitted fact is that the reason no serious conversations a held for making conditions better is simply because governments are not interested in housing and taking care of refugees. One of the primary objectives of a refugee camp is to close as soon as possible, with the refugee returning to a more peaceful home or becoming a community member of the society providing shelter. Design has many faces and in this instance the government has perfected it. In short, land here, figure out your next step and move on. Harsh? Perhaps. But in that situation would you as a designer make an underground bunker more comfortable? Or, (rhetorically) would you use you powers of design “to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity” as did some historical designers?
