10 of the best designs that address the refugee crisis



Today is the start of Refugee Week, which aims to bring awareness of the millions displaced by conflict or natural disasters. To coincide, we're putting the spotlight on 10 innovative recent design projects that make a positive difference in the lives of refugees.
The UK's Refugee Week began in 1998 as a way to combat the negative media portrayals of refugees and asylum seekers. It takes place around the time of World Refugee Day on the 20 June, and sees a nationwide programme of events intended to bring together and create a level of understanding between communities.
This year's event comes as the refugee crisis has become an increasingly important topic for architects and designers, given the worsening of the situation over the past few years.
From shelters to flags, here are our picks of the best products and installations.
Better Shelter by IKEA
Although it has faced criticism of late, this shelter ? developed by IKEA's charitable arm IKEA Foundation ? brought the needs of refugees into mainstream design, and went on to win the Design Museum's design of the year award in 2016.

Flag for Refugee team at Rio 2016 Olympics
This flag was imagined by Yara Said, an artist and Syrian refugee now living in Amsterdam, for the refugee team at the Rio 2016 Olympics. She used black and orange to represent the colour of life jackets worn by refugees when making dangerous sea crossings.
