In this personal talk, architect Abeer Seikaly shares how her mission to redesign refugee camps led her on a deeper search for the elusive qualities that turn a shelter into a home. She makes the case for a cross-disciplinary approach to architecture that incorporates social and cultural practice -- and explains how we can derive lessons from our collective past to transform our own homes to keep up with ever-changing needs.
