From Shelters to Dwellings

The Dismantling and Reassembling of the Refugee Camp

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

The importance of a »dwelling« is often taken for granted - yet it is a human necessity. But how can a shelter within a refugee camp ever become a dwelling? Ayham Dalal investigates this question by bringing »dwelling« to the centre of refugee camps' studies. He argues that the transformation from shelter to dwelling is a creative and imaginative process, in which social relations are carved into space whilst politics, time and materiality are negotiated.
