Samenvatting

During the past decade Malta has received over 15.000 refugees. These migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea by boat for a better life. On the island they are stuck in limbo, without a future or plan. The social environment is harsh and hostile, the social space for them is non existing. This design is to transform the current refugee reception center by deploying architecture as a tool to create a multitude of social opportunities. The introduction of flexible public spaces, social economic programs and improved living conditions will uplift the life of the people.
