Transitional Refugee Community: Design Strategy for Dry/Arid Regions Nakalembe, Hanifah disaster relief transitional housing Sudan humanitarian relief climatically adaptive culturally adaptive Adaptive reuse Environmental systems Mixed-use development Sustainable architecture The proposed master’s project is the exploration of how architectural planning and design can improve and increase efficiency in transitional housing during emergency relief and/or conflict related situations. The project proposal developed through design exploration of several prototypes that would not only be minimal but will also be culturally and climatically adaptive among other things. After a thorough select ion process, concentration was given to arid/dry climate and the area select ed for study was Darfur, Sudan.
