FMR 55 - Low-cost, locally available shelters in Pakistan

Flooding in 2010 affected 18 million people in Pakistan. With declining donor funds and flooding again in 2011 and 2012, the humanitarian community required low-cost solutions that could be scaled up.

FMR 55 - From the Editors

All displaced people need some form of shelter, and circumstances dictate that in reality not much of it conforms to the typical picture of a tent or tarpaulin nor meets official standards.

FMR 55 - Refugee settlements and sustainable planning

We need to develop refugee settlement planning processes that not only facilitate long-term planning but also allow for incremental upgrading. The case of M’Bera in Mauritania illustrates this.

FMR 55 - Shelter in flux

Current humanitarian guidelines do not sufficiently cover what shelter means in volatile and protracted conflict settings, particularly outside organised camps. We propose improved tools that will address that gap.

FMR 55 - An architectural investigation into the provision of refugee accommodation

When challenged to investigate accommodation options for refugees in their city, architecture students found that there are simple and plausible architectural answers for the integration of refugees in medium-sized European cities such as A Coruña.

FMR 55 - The case for self-recovery

Most families recovering from the catastrophe of a disaster rebuild their own homes. This practice of self-recovery by non-displaced communities has potential for displaced populations too.

FMR 55 - Pre-fabricated or freely fabricated?

The architectural forms of emergency shelters and the ways they are created play a significant role in the ability of their inhabitants to deal with their displacement and to perhaps feel, even temporarily, at home.

FMR 55 - Shelter for refugees arriving in Greece, 2015-17

Mass arrivals in Greece since 2015 have far exceeded the supply of acceptable shelter. The attempts to provide solutions continues.

FMR 55 - From drawing-board to Jungle

Our research and development department has been working on a shelter solution in accordance with the requirement of improving logistics, installation, flexibility, the use of natural resources and, above all, the improvement of living conditions.

FMR 55 - The diversity of data needed to drive design

The developers of the Refugee Housing Unit know every aspect and component of their design but can never know what it is like to wake up in one of them every day.

FMR 55 - Choice in shelter solutions in Somalia

The complex, inter-linked and multi-dimensional humanitarian challenges in Somalia require equally complex responses in order to be able to bolster the resilience of Somali people.

FMR 55 - Refugees and the city: UN-Habitat's New Urban Agenda

Special protection for refugees and displaced persons should be part of countries' housing policies.

FMR 55 - Shelter provision and state sovereignty in Calais

Government provision of shelter for Calais’ migrant population over the last twenty years has prioritised the assertion of state authority over the alleviation of human suffering. Policies in 2015-16, which involved the destruction of informal shelter and

FMR 55 - A camp redefined as part of the city

Was what was built at La Linière in Grand-Synthe in northern France a traditional refugee camp or a new kind of urban district?

FMR 55 - Appropriating buildings to house refugees: Berlin Tempelhof

As European cities continue to co-opt existing buildings to use as refugee shelters, the inherent spatial characteristics of these structures present significant challenges to the authorities that select the sites and to those who must reside in them.

FMR 55 - Collective homemaking in transit

The daily activities of the residents and volunteers of the City Plaza Refugee Accommodation Centre in Athens and the organisation of the space help to construct a positive notion of ‘home’.

FMR 55 - Perpetually temporary shelter in Trieste

An old building that has seen displaced people in it many times over many years is being used by the latest group of arrivals, this time from outside Europe.

FMR 55 - The impact of humanitarian shelter and settlements on child protection

Insufficient attention has been paid to the design of shelters and settlements in protracted refugee encampments in Eastern Africa. The results invisibly obstruct young children’s development.

FMR 55 - Reducing GBV risks through better shelter programme design

Good shelter programming must include mitigation measures throughout the project cycle in order to reduce GBV risks.

FMR 55 - Thriving spaces: greening refugee settlements

By incorporating urban agriculture initiatives within refugee camp settings, the concept of shelter can be expanded to include providing protection from the climate, addressing nutritional deficiencies and increasing levels of human dignity, place makin
