We want to help the refugees by giving them, a defined public space, where they can gather safely for any social activity. We believe that public space is among the basic human necessities. There is a specific duality inherent in designing space: the ability to create a balanced synergy between pragmatic and psychological aspects is the challenge of architecture. In refugee camps, the existing ten
ts are fundamental because they provide the con- ditions for refugees to survive. We believe that at this time we need to go a step further. People need a common ground, a space to live, not merely to survive. A human being is a social being a, “zoon politicon“ and as such needs social interaction. Architecture is more than a social product, it is a social need. Architecture creates the space where social interaction can happen. Social interaction creates engagement, and engagement develops individuality, which allows us to know ourselves and to recognize ourselves as human beings. The act of building is a statement in itself; it provides a feeling of being united, and brings hope to the community.
