By living in a world of wars and unrest right now, we are witnessing one of the largest human displacements to have ever happened. People around the world are on the move to seek refuge – whether it is because of military action or a natural disaster. The idea of a “home” is under constant scrutiny as entire populations are uprooted from the very places where they built their whole lives.
We ask our guests about how the concept of home has evolved in the last century. How do policy and design intersect to alleviate or exacerbate housing crises in cities around the world? Why are governments failing to reduce homelessness? What is the temporary housing market and how is it driven by migrant workers? And how can architects play a role in creating emergency shelters?
