The First "Maidan Tent" is Built to Aid Refugees in Greece
In an effort to aid the plight of refugees around the world fleeing war and persecution, two young architects in 2016 embarked on a project designed to improve the mental health of refugees in camps. Led by Bonaventura Visconti di Modrone and Leo Bettini Oberkalmsteiner, and supported by the UN International Organization for Migration, ?Maidan Tent? allows refugees to benefit from indoor public space ? a communal area to counteract the psychological trauma induced by war, persecution, and forced migration.
