matterbetter has initiated an international open ideas competition for architecture students and young architects to research new housing concepts for the future of the post-war syria. the civil war in syrian arab republic, which has started in 2011, created the biggest refugee crisis after the world war ii.
competition participants are asked to propose a solution for housing scarcity crisis, which will affect the country as more and more cities of the war-torn country will be freed and refugees will start to come back. living conditions in the current refugee camps and temporary buildings across europe and other countries are mostly inhuman, making refugees feel desperate, since there’s also nowhere to come back as the syrian towns are in ruins, offering nothing to people who once lived there.
the vital part of the new housing concept should become a creation of such living conditions which will be attractive for once displaced syrians to return.
people, who spent years in temporary shelters and adapted buildings, will look for “solid ground” to begin a new life. new housing concept should be able to permanently accommodate people in need of a new home and become a new page in the history of syria.
