“German designer Felix Stark has created an innovative refugee tent design concept to address both the physical and psychological needs of individuals in disaster areas. The Sphere concept is comprised of 19 units of tents; the partition walls can be unbuttoned to create larger sections for extended families or remained buttoned for individual occupation. The center of the Sphere is constructed as a social place for single families and inhabitants to gather for cooking or visiting.”
