Expanding Horizons for Interior Architecture: Accounting for Forced Migration
Abstract
This chapter addresses the pressing issue of transnational forced migration around the world which has reached another level of urgency since 2015 when the countries in Europe began receiving migrants from Syria. As a result, providing housing solutions for temporary accommodation has been a significant concern and a variety of responses have been developed in and around Europe to facilitate temporary accommodation of forcibly displaced people. A significant part of these endeavours consists of efforts for developing universal solutions in the form of housing units which present a product-oriented approach and often fail to account for the complexities of dwelling. This chapter discusses the involvement of interior architects in the matters of forced migration in relevance of both their scale-focus and skillset, by critically examining the tools and methods they use and adopting the process-oriented and cross-disciplinary approaches which consider the social and cultural complexities of temporary living.
