【Analysis of the current situation of refugee shelters and measures for improvement】
In the border area between Cambodia and Thailand, many people have been forced to flee their homes due to armed conflict.
As architects, what can we do now?
Based on photographs from the site, we observed and analyzed life in the evacuation areas, and organized the ingenuity and challenges we observed in daily life. We also collected and excerpted materials related to refugee shelters in Japan, and compiled hints that could be applied to the local situation.
This is our mission and declaration as architects.
Without safety, neither comfortable living nor dignified life can be sustained.
It may be difficult for individuals alone to stop the conflict.
However, if each of us brings together what we can do and works together, we can certainly take a step toward improving the current situation.
We sincerely hope that this vision spreads, and that the day when those displaced can return to their peaceful lives comes as soon as possible.
