Arab Refugee Housing, Palestine, Asia |

"This design for a prototype for temporary housing for Palestinian refugees actually proposes three types of units, all organized on a five-metre-square module, with four units meant to be grouped together on the foundation base. The use of a module here adds a great deal of flexibility to a bearing wall system, which is often dismissed as being too static for such construction."
Steele, James. 1997. An Architecture for People: The Complete Works of Hassan Fathy. London, United Kingdom: Thames and Hudson.
Although not realized it is an interesting project seen in the light of Fathy's earlier work. Here he not only designs housing that corresponds to specific cultural needs, he also designs a temporary camp with the same concerns.
