This is the second half of the M.Arch 1 under the umbrella of magical realism. This project transforms standard UNHCR tents into specialized centers that aim to support refugee and displaced women and children. Rather than attempting to solve their challenges, the pavilion creates safe spaces where women can take charge of improving their own circumstances by utilizing structures already found or regularly delivered to refugee camps. The pavilion provides flexible and adaptable spaces for a variety of essential programs such as storage of hygiene products, learning centers, nursing rooms, and areas for vocational training, helping women develop the skills necessary to thrive in their new environments. The goal is not to offer a complete solution but to create an environment where women can reshape their realities. By using existing UNHCR tent materials, the project remains sustainable and cost-effective, with spaces that evolve to meet the community’s needs, fostering empowerment and resilience.
