Affordable Materials
In reality, a construction may not cost more than $360 (source: UNHCR 2021).
Privacy
A refugee tent is often shared with many others, often for many years.
Temporary
Both governments and refugees often do not want to establish a permament situtaion in crisis areas and therefore a solution should be temporary.
Safe Space
A shelter must also be a safe space for the supposedly weak. Many refugees are still minors and cannot protect themselves.
Local
Using locally available building materials or local industries creates real benefit for the region and can also increase the acceptance of the original population.
Customizable
Every individual and every culture has different needs. A solution that is customizable will have a better acceptance.
