In the studio, we were asked to choose a population for which we want to plan. I chose the asylum seekers from Afrika. To better understand this population’s needs, I interviewed asylum seekers, and eventually focused on two main characteristics:

1. The homeland culture – community life and the colorful aesthetics.

2. Being a refugee – the temporariness, the daily struggle.

In the site – Montefiore neighborhood, I was charmed by the 'patches', the 'spontaneous' built from cheap available materials, non-planned. I felt that was the connection between the context and the concept.

The project is disassembled in different scales – from the arrangement dividing the lot into 4 building, through the wall, the materials and to the window detail. The materials are temporary, cheap, varied and colorful. The purpose of the tower is to state, for the transparent asylum seekers, "We are Here".

The project copes with urban and climate needs, as well as specific solutions for a population with special characteristics of sharing, community, intimacy and feeling safe.
