Designed by Jordanian and Canadian architect Abeer Seikaly called ‘Weaving a Home’ is a tent-like shelter that provides easily transportable, temporary shelters, allowing migrants to be self sufficient. The structure is composed of durable plastic, fabric tubes that are threaded to form a singular unit and arranged into a 2m high dome. The joining of two layers of fabric creates a structure that mimics snake scales. There are various interesting technical features. Exposure to the surrounding elements can be controlled by manipulating the units. Elements can be opened or closed, to allow for air flow or prevent heat from escaping.
