About the project
Our task is to find a reasonable way to survive inside its boundaries. a sensible use of our natural resources, a heart to protect the common goods and a guidance of new achievements in science and technology: theses will be the tools, that guides us into a sustainable century.
The project is intended to define a new understanding for the stereotypical “REFUGEE / FORCIBLY DISPLACED CAMPS” of today.
As we venture into the future, the human kind faces catastrophic disasters like floods/hurricanes/earthquakes/heavy climate conditions. Aside from the natural causes we also face wars and generations after generations are born into theses crises without any knowledge or at least fair education and awareness about the outside world and what the future beholds. This Project is the first stepping stone into a new understanding of refugee camps. It is a long-term self-sustaining facility with all features needed for a community to live a fair productive life and also to give back to the host.
