Domo styled
Leave it to the Germans
to bring order to camps;
Refugee camps are often located in remote and difficult environments.
And whether it's because of a natural disaster or conflict, displaced
people may find themselves living in tents or improvised shelters for
years, sometimes decades.
"A tent is very good to deliver short term relief. It's very lightweight
and can be transported to any area of the world very quickly. But then
the problems start," says Daniel Kerber.
The Berlin-based designer leads an organisation called
morethanshelters.
His team has designed a new shelter system called Domo. It is a
tent-like shelter that is easy to set up and long-lasting. But unlike
standard humanitarian-issue tents, the Domo is highly adaptable to
climates and to people's needs.
Given what's going on in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Gaza...it's a growth industry.
