Millions of people across the globe are being displaced from their homes in response to extreme situations such as wars and natural disasters. Economic hardship and the lack of opportunities is also provoking a pattern of massive migrations to urban areas, resulting in the depopulation of rural communities. Architects have a crucial role to play in grappling with the conflicts and challenges arising from these developments by providing design strategies for both short-term as well as long-term recovery.

Let's take a look at another island featured in our Bio-Spaces exhibition, "BIO[BASED]"! "BIO[BASED]" island explores a selection of materials that have a positive impact on our interior and exterior environments. Robust, fast-growing crop hemp, is turned into a range of corrugated panels by Erthly, while high quality, wool composite Solidwool acts as a sustainable alternative to today's petrochemical based structural reinforced plastics and composites.
