The Conference provides a platform for global knowledge sharing on a) Issues around the use of Technology to comprehend the spatial and social understanding of displacement and b) New Design Idea Collaboration on Creative Migrant Shelters. The proposed cross-geographical Conference will consist of 2 days (16 hours) of discussion/debate on the use of Technology to understand better the phenomena of border, displacement, mobility, and the use of Technology to create a knowledge base on migrant crises.

Call for papers: We invite global scholars to send abstracts on the following thematic areas addressing the various relevant issues on the use of Technology for
A. Exploring the temporality and fragility of shelter to facilitate creative migrant shelter design
B. Exploring the socio-spatial pattern of displacement and journey
C. Understanding spatial justice and social capital at the borderlands
D. Mapping the migrants' journeys for vulnerability reductions

Abstract of 300 words maximum with title and keywords should be submitted (see a template at the end) on or before 15 January 2024. Send your abstract to Helen Aggasild (h.aggasild@rgu.ac.uk). The detailed format of the paper will be available after shortlisting the abstract on 20 February 2024. The registration will be due upon receiving the confirmation letter by 30 March 2024 (£100 early bird; £150 late).

Deadline for Full Paper on or before 30 June 2024.
[Selected papers and design projects will be published in Routledge Book (proposed 2025)]

Creative Shelter Design: Architecture School Collaboration: At least three architecture schools from any location will form partners to collaborate and design a creative shelter solution for migrants and displaced. The idea should be presented on one A1 poster, demonstrating the location/place of the proposed shelter, showing the location at borderlands, background, site conditions, methods of design (plan, elevation, section, Technology, and construction details) capable of ‘self-assembly’, retractable, easy to pack for distribution as part of AID for the humanitarian agencies.
