Abstract
(Englisch)
The sensitive issue of a large-scale entry of refugees to Europe has arisen again since the summer of 2015. The challenge is to quickly build adequate numbers of affordable homes and to integrate the varied incoming population. The situation has put pressure and impetus for refurbishment and new construction of housing. For stability, home is a given, more so for the uprooted asylees—the asylum seekers and refugees living precarious lives. So, what makes a shelter a home for the asylees? Two aspects have been considered to define the effectiveness of an adequate asylee accommodation for the study in Vienna and Copenhagen: the location and the design. Location has been examined through four attributes: economic status, ethno-demographic character, quality of housing and proximity to amenities. Design has been studied through the existing building regulations, functionality and the spatial articulation of the public and private dimension. In both Vienna and Copenhagen, while there are some apparent causal relations, locations of the asylee accommodations neither explicitly nor absolutely depend on the ethno-socio-economic and spatial character of the cities, but rather on the availability of physical spaces. On the other hand, design, in terms of building regulations, are patently different for the newcomers and the natives, having lower standards for the former. Functionality of the spaces fluctuates, but the distinction between public and private spaces have considerable clarity with scopes for interpretations on the qui vive. Investigation in to the spatial performance showed that the architectural language must be redefined to improve the design so that the accommodations foster belongingness which will consequently help integration.
