Within a very short timeframe, temporary refugee shelters commissioned by the City of Freiburg will be built at three locations. ARGE Architekten Freiburg have developed a modular system using wood for mass-wall construction as an alternative to the established method using steel containers. Untreated materials, flexible re-use, and the promotion of a regional supply chain will stimulate the population’s acceptance of the housing project.
