REFUGEE SHELTER
INNOVATIONS WORKSHOP
INNOVATIONS WORKSHOP
IS DESIGN FOR REFUGEE SHELTERS A NECESSITY OR AN INDULGENCE?
On 6 July Charles Parrack, alongside other practitioners and
academics, gave a presentation at Ramboll (a global engineering company) as
part of a discussion on the role of design and designers in refugee shelter.
Charles presented ongoing CENDEP work on Shelter in Flux, highlighting the
challenges for designers in fast moving and rapidly changing refugee shelter
needs in conflict.
The Refugee Shelter Innovations Workshop was organised and hosted by Ramboll in collaboration
with Save the Children, and brought together designers, humanitarian sector workers,
academics and policy makers to share new ideas that have led to effective post
disaster recovery.
