Week 1

Concept development

  • Reduce the waste water, provide it in recreational places (water usage)
  • Revive the former cultural feature of hammam
  • Improve the hygiene situation
  • Increase the green spaces
  • Create missing relaxation areas

Criteria

Create a relaxation place in which showering and bathing facilities will be available to residents. A way of escaping the camp and find themselves in a calming environment.

  • Total numbers of Hammams: 12, one in each district
  • Size of each Hammam: varies, according to population density
  • Layout of Hammams: according to traditional Hammams

The location of the hammam should depend on:
- Available space
- Walking distance (preferable centered in districts)

And will have the following attraction points:
- Water-reservoirs
 - Water-treatment
- Other recreation/greenery
 - Topography of the area


We analysed the camp on previously described qualities. The map under this text shows the important areas in the camp with several attraction points. These will be the imput for the upcoming analysis.

Location analysis

Occupation calculation

Total refugees in the camp: 80.000 persons
Average refugees per district: 6.667 persons
Opening hours per week: 7 days, 20 hours
Average number of visitors per district per hour: 48

We assume one Hammam per district with a possiblity of placing more in district 1 and 2, depending on the density of people.
