Charles Parrack REFUGEE SHELTER INNOVATIONS WORKSHOP




REFUGEE SHELTER 
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.
