From Shelter To Home: Transformation Grammar Of Housing Units In Irbid Refugee Camp

This poster presents research on the design challenges in refugee camps where “temporary" shelters often evolve into permanent homes and larger communities. These transformations convey an informal design process, a phenomenon evident in Irbid Camp for Palestinian refugees in Jordan. To study this site and design process in detail, shape rules based on the transformation of 10 individual housing units are developed, with consideration of area and growth limitations inside the refugee camp.
