​

Ciutat Del Cercles is an temporary housing project located in El Poblemou, a former industrial neighborhood in Barcelona. It attempts to revitalize this district by turning the empty blocks into a temporary shelter in response to Europe's refugee crisis.

 

The tents are arranged in circles to create courtyards that facilitate communal activities. The circles are fused together by garden, which contains programs such as playground and vegetable farming. Each tent has a backyard, an intimate space the resident can call their own, and therefore fosters a sense of home.
