LEARNING FROM DESIGNING FOR REFUGEES
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 50
Abstract
In the last five years, Turkey experienced huge migration flux of refugees running from the Syrian Conflict. This flux created a problem of urgent inhabitation that Turkey had suffered many times before because of being on a problematic geography, not only politically but also seismically. In both cases, victims are under not only the pressure of physical problems such as having lost their homes but also moral ones like death of beloved ones. Moreover, refugee crisis has a dimension of identity problem, due to differences with host communities. In addition to other dramatic movements of population since the second half of 19th century, Anatolia also experienced many agonizing destructions of powerful earthquakes that left hundred thousands of people homeless in seconds. Whether because of an armed conflict or a natural disaster, urgent inhabitation of mass amount of people is a multifaceted problem one of which is absolutely architecture. Therefore, architecture students in Turkey have to learn how to deal with this issue. Under these circumstances, the aim of this study is to convey the social and professional awareness level of students of architecture on humanitarian crises by questionnaires, especially in relation to the refugee crisis, and detect the pros and cons of undergrad education. The results are hoped to be helpful in order to get lessons to educate future generations of architects with social responsibility.
