The Maidan tent is a covered, welcoming square, designed to host various activities. The structure is a round, multifunctional space open on every side and subdivided into eight sectors which are zoned in two concentric areas. The center of the tent is an open common meeting place enclosed by a ring of semiprivate spaces where people can gather to pursue their activities in a more intimate common space.

We are a young company focused on designing structures that can improve the quality of life of people living in makeshift and refugee camps. We use a bottom up process including all the stakeholders during the design process. We have started a collaboration with IOM, International organization for migration, the UN migration agency who showed interest in the tent and who wants to test it and in case implemented in other camps in mainland Greece. We also started a collaboration with ARUP who helped us through the design process checking our structural drawings and calculations. The first tent will be installed in Ritsona refugee camp and we are working to set up a production that can supply tent all over the world.
