Temporary dwelling encompasses structures built for short-term habitation across diverse contexts and timescales. These projects range from seasonal retreats and artist residences to transitional housing for displaced populations, each addressing specific needs within a defined period of use.

The community explores adaptable housing solutions including remote cabins and island retreats, modular dormitories designed for future reconfiguration, emergency shelters for refugees, and experimental dwellings that respond to landscape and climate. Work here examines how temporary structures balance permanence and flexibility, materiality and function.

The Silk Road Housing

Through the ages, a shelter simply meant protection. Protection which is divided into two main criteria: the first, it needs to be fast and efficient, meets the need for a quick protocol that arises from the earthquake problem, needs to be agile and easy in its assembly. The second, the transformation of the shelter into a permanent home.

Homey Hub

The Hustle Hub is renamed as "Homey Hub". This is because of the aim of this youth housing design is to make the young residents feel at home and help them to pursue their life and career goal, instead of 'hustling' in their life.

Malja Almubaraka (The Blessed Shelter)

The condition of Syria and its habitats has been severe post the destructive war and has left them with no place to live. Therefore, we are proposing plug-in micro housing for their resettlement.This approach will help the survivors with a place to live, also allowing them to alter it as per their requirements.
