- W2189013408 abstract "The project takes on the difficult task to provide public amenities in refugee camps. The submitted proposal for a health center and school was specifically developed for the Mbera refugee camp in southeast Mauritania of more than 70,000 people, near the border with Mali. Foldable and easily-erectable tent structures form the basic units for the school and health center facilities. Phase Change Material (PCM) accumulators are used for air-conditioning, taking advantage of the temperature differential between day and night for creating livable and safe conditions without additional energy requirements – the colder air at night cools the hot air during the day. The use of this simple but effective technology in semi-desert or desert areas helps to improve living conditions in the camps, upholding the human dignity of the refugees and enhancing their chances for stability and self-reliance. The jury praised the basic premise of the design proposal that combines the intelligent deployment of technology with social objectives. Two technical aspects were specifically praised. First, the sophisticated light-weight system for the tent structures was considered a highly appropriate solution for satisfying the specific needs of instant construction. Second, the use of PCM accumulators as an environmental control system to cool or heat the air was deemed a brilliant answer for improving comfort levels. Here technology is put to work for enhancing the living conditions of uprooted political refugees." @default.
