Asylum Design refers to the architectural and planning principles used in the design of facilities that provide refuge and safety for individuals seeking protection from persecution or violence. These designs prioritize security, accessibility, and the well-being of residents, often incorporating communal spaces, private areas, and supportive services to foster a sense of community. The concept is closely related to humanitarian architecture, which aims to create environments that promote dignity and healing. Asylum Design can also involve collaboration with organizations like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to ensure that the needs of asylum seekers are met effectively.
