According to the latest UNHCR report (2018), there are 70.8 million displaced people in the world.The tangible
and intangible dimensions of (forced) human displacement are complex, whereby each displacement situation has its own very
specific structures, while at the same time, it is generated by common underlying parameters. In 2015 and 2016, the Kurdistan
Region of Iraq saw a large influx of displaced Iraqis and Syrian refugees from areas that were under the control of ISIS. The exhibition and symposium Structures of Displacement reflects upon a collaboration between [applied] Foreign Affairs
and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) that has resulted in the conception and design of a communal
facility implemented next to Erbil's Harsham Camp. Zooming out from this project to a global discourse, Structures of Displacement
questions the roles of mapping, planning, architecture, and spatial manifestations within such contexts. [a]FA
