BORDER TOPOLOGIES

HUA LI 2016-2017 PORTFOLIO OF SEMESTER 1&2 THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD




BRIEF I am so lucky that I have joined Border Topologies Studio. This studio is lead by Dr Nishat Awan, Dr Krysztof and Aya Musmar. Our studio aims to explore architecture’s relationship with border geographies. In a context where unprecedented numbers of people are on the move across the world due to war, climate change and poverty, how can architectural design help in our response to this increasingly urgent situation? In the first semester, we used different ways to map various border space. Mapping as a mean method to help us understand the functions and characteristics of different types borders. I was in a big group which include seven people in the first semester; we can participate two projects, fortunately. We focus on both UK Border Practices and Turkey & Greece Border research. In the process of this research in semester one, I am keeping asking myself what the relationship between architectural and borders is, what we can help to improve this issues we found in border research. In the beginning, there is no answer to me, only confusion. As the research work, some ideas about border questions in my mind became clear. In this portfolio, semester 1 part as a recording of my thinking in this semester, like an enjoying trip in my life. In the second semester, we made a field trip as an opportunity to feel the border materialities. Individually, I think all the field trip, research, models, scenario games, designs in this semester around different borders we can think. That is because the UK border research make me more sensitive to borders. Thanks my tutors Dr. Nishat Awan, Dr Krysztof, and Aya Musmar help me got an excellent academic reseach experience.

01 UK Border Practices Invisible Borders Data & Biometric Borders Hidden Border - I.R.C

This project - UK Border Practices- need us focus on the dispersed border. Where the effects of the border can be felt across a whole territory and not just at the physical border. In our group, we started with looking for the invisible border from ourself journey to UK. Trying to identify the whole border or the specific borders which we did not find when we face them. To think the border in different scales. In this research we used the way to study down to up, from the details to the country. How the effects of the UK border work to us, and when we begin to be effect that we did not felt it. We have found a series of invisible borders in our journey to UK, and some of them still works on ourself, they never leaves but always keep invisible. In the big scale, we use the UK invisible effects to re-build the border, to identify UK border. Then we found that how the country works in this way.


"Open to business but closed to terrorists and traffickers." – Chris Rumford


Looking for the invisible borders... At the beginning of our research, we can not really understand the invisible borders of UK. Maybe we have some ideas, but they were not very clear for us to talking and expressing. So, we choose a simple but useful way to start our research -mapping our own journeys. There are something we expect to find by our journey-mapping. It is the time we are using to come to U.K. and the different details in our journey. Cause we have a big group which include 7 people, and come from 4 different countries, which means that we may have different journeys and it may took us different time to come U.K.

Visualised the invisible borders... When we are looking for invisible borders in our journey to UK, we found some different details in our mapping. For examples, the geographic distance, the time we use on flights, the procedures of application for Visa, the way we gone in U.K. airports... For us, that is the invisible borders, the different parts is also the way U.K. can make sure our identity, our purposes again and again. Only after that U.K. can give us promotion, cause we can bring benefit not troubles to this country.

11


Why do we chose to come to the UK? After mapping our journeys, we have found some differences between us. These can be defined as Invisible Borders of UK. Then we asked ourself, what is about the similar parts of our journey? Why do we choose to come to the UK? We decide to re-map our journey again, and try to find the answer...

Shakespeare, the famous universities, BBC radio, the dramas, luxury goods, the English Premier League, pop-music, even daily necessities, English language... All this likes an invisible hand reach around the world, and brings us to the UK, not other countries. Using the effects created UK border.

12


"Open to business but closed to terrorists and traffickers." – Chris Rumford The country, also likes a machine, makes its effects as the various border in the whole world. Keeping to attract people come to the UK, or build the relationship to the UK, bring their business, money, knowledge and anything useful to the UK. The country got more, and it becomes more powerful to disperse its effects to the world and bring back more. It likes a circle.

13


UK Border Airport & Data

Airports are spaces accessed to begin or end a journey. Their roles at the end become more critical to our investigation because it signifies the entry or non-entry into the UK. To access these spaces legally and successfully, people must meet a certain set standard. This process of meeting the standard takes longer for some than for others. Airports are sterile zones where the identity of an individual becomes the documents he/she carries. (Esp. The passport). All individuals become bar-codes and numbers on passports. Because the information obtained from these documents that are so thoroughly vetted becomes a part of a largely invisible, intangible database that determines who is allowed to become a citizen and who shall remain a non-citizen and how long someone is detained in the country. - DATABASE We all become dots in these databases, not as whole individuals but as parts of an information system. And this information system is responsible for setting the very same rules and standards that we must meet before we arrive. At this part of our research, the border is not just open to business. It starts to refuse some people, they can not come into UK.

Statistics

The Hidden Border... I.R.C (Immigration Removal Centre), belongs to The British Home Office. Immigration removal centers are holding centers for foreign nationals awaiting decisions on their asylum claims or awaiting deportation following a failed application. Immigration Removal Centers are a manifestation of the border itself - they’re the space between inside the UK and outside the UK. Due to this, the same laws that apply within the UK, don’t apply anymore. The lines between lawful & unlawful become fuzzy to the point that it becomes a question of human rights. On a street level, they’re barely visible from the roads around and Google Street Views does not offer street views from the roads immediately around these IRCs.

THE OUTDOOR – Trapped “In each outdoor area, however, even the sky feels curtailed.” Tinsley House and Brook House IRCs, built so close to the runway at Gatwick that the rumble of taking off is audible, have little of note to see.” - Excerpts from Post by Mary Bosworth, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford

THE CORRIDOR – Net & Railing Although the center – which is built to the same standards as a category B prison – is designed to hold detainees for no more than 72 hours, the report says the average time spent in Brook House is three months...... Its design as a short-term holding center meant there was an insufficient activity or education facilities.” - Excerpt from the Guardian

02 Turkey-Greece Border Why the border here? The stories related the border Life Jeckets

In a place where the physical border is not the place of conflict, we first need to identify where the border arises and how this zone becomes an area of conflict. Turkey-Greece Border is a displaced border. As one important entrance to Europe, lots refugee choose this border to cross. Why so many people choose there to cross? What happed there? What is happening there? What we can do for them? That’s all the question, we are trying to figure out in our research. In this project, we have used different way to researh, we use the data/information we cloccted from different parts. The research is from the up to down. Not like UK border, in this project we firstly focuse on the whole country, the cities, then the city, the refugees, and stories... Then choose the interesting part and more important part to continue our research. At the end of this research, we focuse on the lifejeckets use the very detials thing to presente our research.

Where is the border we want to research... Turkey and Greece, there are lots of stories between the two countries. At the beginning we learned the history from one of our group mates - Ebru, who come from Turkey but her family was living in Greece. This project is about the relationship between social behaviors and the physical borders. We start from mapping the physical borders, histories, events happened in these year. Want to find the border related to our topic.

The five-columns of Berlin’s Konzerthaus concert hall have taken on a bright orange hue in a new work by Ai Weiwei (featured previously). The installation uses 14,000 discarded life jackets from refugees who landed on the Greek Island of Lesbos after a treacherous voyage across the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey.

SEMESTER 2


01 Group WorkField Trip Scenario Game Model Design strategy

After the study of borders in last semester, we begin to understand the border. It could be a filter to classify different people by certain conditions. Sometimes, it likes a tool of the country to the operation of this political machine. Sometimes, it likes a protection to avoid the dangerous. Sometimes, it likes a wall cut off the relationship between people. It could be both visible and invisible. It is everywhere whether you know it or not. In this semester, we used our field trip as an opportunity to feel the power of border with our understanding of border, which we learned from last semester. We will focus on the daily life and the governance in Zaatari refugee camps and look for the visible and invisible borders which could influence their life. At the end of our semester, we will use architecture knowledge to try to improve their life by our design.



To Feel the border materialities in our Field Trip The field trip plays a vital role, as it allows pupils to experience (architectural) space through their own movement, their senses and in a real environment. (Batic,2011) Our research began with a field trip to Jordan. During our field trip, we visited three big camps which include Irbid, Zaatari, and Azraq. By visiting this three camps we have a chance to get the information from local people in the real environment, and to feel the border materialities. Each camp has its own unique characteristics. These three camps are here, telling their own narrations and waiting for us to hear.

Irbid is one of the earliest established camps in Jordan. It was one of four camps established for refugees who left Palestine as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

Zaatari camp is one of the biggest refugee camps for Syria refugees. It hosts 80,000 Syrians who have been forced to flee the war in Syria.

34

Azraq refugee camp is one of the newest refugee camps. It opened in April 2014.


“For those who pass it without entering, the city is one thing; it is another for those who are trapped by it and never leave. There is the city where you arrive for the first time; and there is another city which you leave never to return.� (Calvino,1978).

Scenario Game Actor Cards Design

After our field trip, we designed a scenario game. We used scenario game as a design method for a more indepth understanding of the refugee camp, predict what will happen in the future. Scenario game is also a kind of architecture experimentation. We used the information, which we got from the field trip to designed our scenario game. We used scenario game to re-analysis our understanding of Zaatari camp and try to find something we are interesting to develop. The experimentation help us to find the things we want to do more research and design. At the same time, we rethink our project with spatial,social and ecnomic view to re-examine the everyday life of refugee and the issues of governance in Zaatari refugee camp.

Senario Game Playing & Recording

After several times test, our game is complete. With last semester UK border’s experience, everyone in our group is sensitive with different borders. Where are the visible borders and invisible borders? Which details be hidden by governance... So, for this scenario game, we became more sensitive to find the border in Zaatari Camp. We also asked friends from other routes to came and play with us, to reduce the effects by our subject as the game designers.

This diagram is one of our scenario game mappings for analysis our scenario game. Scenario game helped us to simulate the daily life and the relations between NGOs and refugees. This diagram visualised every action and event as a line, to narrate the stories by causality. By this mapping, we could see different actors’ stories in the two rounds game. A special colour represents every actors’ stories. We classified every line by colours to analysis the powers, social system, relationships, infrastructures. We focus on details in our scenario game, and analysis them with a spatial perspective.

By comparing positive, negative, neutral percentage in different phases, it is clear to see that, although there are lots of negative effects happened in the game, but NGOs still trying to make positive reactions to make things good. But at the end, the effects to refugee are not so good as we expected. What we could treat it is a top-down decision process, and it is not so much effective. In the following research, we will try to think the possibilities of a bottom-top process in Zaatari Camp.

The end of the war

The actor named Noreen is a refugee in our scenario game. When she just moved into Zaatari camp, she is very happy with the feeling without the fear of the war. She told his neighbour the feeling of the first night she slept in the shelter is extremely serene. She knows the shelter is not her home, but she wants to have a life here.

‫نيرون‬ Name: Noreen Age:35 Gender: Male Nationality: Syrian Family: Has 2 kids. Lives with them and her husband. Job: None Education: BA in Home Science Income: 20 JoD/month

Noreen is well educated and good at communication. But to find a job in Zaatari is still difficult to her. After several times argue, she got a job in the school as a teacher with a very low pay, which just can cover her family expense. When she got two more kids in the camp, her life became more difficult. With her husband help, their life was still going on.

‫مسالا‬: ‫نيرون‬ ‫رمعلا‬: 35 ‫ركذ‬ ‫ةيسنجلا‬: ‫ةيروسلا‬ ‫ةلئاعلا‬: ‫ هيدل‬2 ‫لافطأ‬. ‫اهجوزو مهعم شيعي‬. ‫ةفيظولا‬: ‫ءيش ال‬ ‫ميلعتلا‬: ‫ةيسيئرلا مولعلا يف سويرولاكب‬ ‫لخدلا‬: 20 ‫ رانيد‬/ ‫رهش‬

At the end of the war, NGO decides to close this refugee camp. As well as the school will close. Noreen lost her job. She didn’t want to come back to Syria because the war destroyed his home. She didn’t have enough money to build a new one in Syria. She also did not have a right to work like a citizen. For this years she is living in Zaatari, not Jordan. To Noreen, Zaatari is her life, without Zaatari, her life is almost ended.

Note: Moved to camp with husband and 2 kids 4 years ago. She is well educated and good at communication. She aspires to travel the world. Very attached to her children. She wants them to be fully educated.

Facing her four kids (she got two more kids in Zaatari), she can do nothing. Finally, she ended his life by herself, at the time of the end of Zaatari camp, the time of the end of the war.

Both husband and wife don’t have jobs or any other source of income in the camp. She is willing to find gainful employment to support her family.

Model

Visiable the power systerm

For us, this experiment raised many important questions - how could we efficiently assemble the spatial narrative of the camp (map) with the intangible narratives of it (power, privilege etc.)? How can we quantify privilege or power in order to account for it in design? However, the ultimate question was this - how do we operate under the current model of power relations in order to create spaces that would liberate people from this vicious cycle of privilege?

Base Map - Spatial Context


Model

The Process Of Operation

We used a balancing device to find the unbalance of power in Zaatari. Our model simulated an ideal process of location-decision of infrastructures, which combined the situation of now and a scenario future. But finally, we found that the unbalance of power in the camp is created by the completely up-down decision system. The border between refugees and NGOs is so much huge. Without participation, there is no chance to refugee to get power. Without power, it seems that they will never have a chance to make decision by themselves.

Resource Flow

The countries in the world contribute their resource to NGaO, mainly for humanitarianism.

The resource centre on and collected by NGO, and reorganize the resource by NGO.

The resource mainly is separated and put in three aspects of the refugee camp. Localized infrastructure, dispersed Infrastructure and money for refugee.

Localized infrastructure like school, health centre and community centre as well as dispersed Infrastructure such as power network , water supply and sewerage system are construct by NGO. Besides, refugees would receive the menoy from NGO and then build their shelter.

52

Individual Design


Future Scenario Timeline

Refugees have the ability to develop their own living environment and the right to build facilities they want.

The number of refugees reached 156,000 and Zaatari camp become the fourth largest city in Jordan.

UNHCR start to build the Zaatri camp.

Resource Capacity

Prediction according to the result of Scenario Game.

In these intersection, the major role of the camp would be shifted from NGO to refugees. It means that refugees can spend their own resource to built facilities when they persuade NGO.

Probable Obstructions/ Scenario Points for Troubleshooting

The main street develops market-like structures where goods like daily products and clothes.

Comparing these three scenario timelines of Zaatari future, the result is clear. The most different decisive elements of the development of Zaatari is the participation of refugees. The participation of refugees could make the developing sustainable and indipendent.

3. Occupation and Use The function or use of the public buildings (infrastructure) created is likely to be determined by different groups of interest in the area. This is a place where the collective power of people with common interests manifests itself and can be put to use to create agency.

As seen in the last case below due to a small number of people skilled/interested in a certain type of community infrastructure , their interests can get overlooked. In order to ensure that their interests are served, there is a need for communication channels to be established so that they may connect with similar interest groups from other districts.

An Example Scenario:

Child Care Center Created

Tution Center Created

Households that support creation of: a child care center

2

People interested in creating a child care center affect the use of the public spaces available aroud them to crreate a child care center.

Tution centers get created due to similar power dynamics

Central Meeting Space Created

4

From this exercise, it is clear that there is a need for NETWORKs that are not based on place to be established among those in minority.

People interested in creation of an art studio aren’t able to get a space for collaboration because they’re not in majority & are disconnected

3 Central meeting space created because of larger groups being able to collaborate with smaller ones.

02 Individual Design-Fence "Break"



The Floating City

“A prison in the desert”, “The instant city“, “Makeshift city“, “City of the lost“, all the words could be used to describe Zaatari refugee camp. As the time going, for now, Zaatari camp have been established for more than five years. The scale is keeping growing. More and more people believe Zaatari refugee camp as an informal city which will not disappear tomorrow. But, looking at the map of the area nearby Zaatari, it is very clear to see that there is barely connection between Zaatari and other towns or cities in Jordan. It likes a “floating city”.

58


The Fence of Zaatari

Refugees

Citizens

The fences around the camp give me a deep impression. The fence creates a huge gap between Zaatari camp and cities, a huge gap between refugees and citizens. How to help them to come back the real life, a new life without the endless waiting? That is our goal to archive by our design. How to use architectural way to reduce the border, and make the connection with Jordan. The connection does not need to be physical, and it is more like a value exchange channel. Refugees contribute to this country, and they get the right to have a citizen life. Make their connection to this area where they want to live.

59


Border (Fence) Break Strategy: 1. To help refugees to creat value by themselives. 2. Creat space (a shop or market) at the edge of Zaatari Camp for value exchange with locals. 3. Protect the space develop well.

Hierarchy of Needs for Refugees Self-fullfillment needs: At the top of these hierarchy of needs for refugees is the self-fullfillment need. A normal citizen life, which likes a dream for every refugee, is the final need of refugeaes. But for now, in Zaatari camp, the dream only could be came ture after the end of the war. The endless waiting of "The End of the War".

Right to be a citizen, personal freedom

Psychological needs: With the continuous improvement of the refugee camp, family reunion happened every time. But to provide a job for refugee, is still facing too much pressure, like the policy of Jordan, the non skilled refugees. Although "cash for work", the programme orgnised by UNHCR, give some refugee a chance to get a job, but there is still lots of refugees need more jobs.

Esteem Needs: Fixed income, a job for cash

Belongingness and Love Needs: Family get together, Friends live together Safety Needs: Pravity shelter, far away from the war

Basic needs: With NGOs' humanitarian aid, most of these needds of refugees have been solved.

Physiologyical Needs: Food, clean water, warmth clothing

Economic analysis Cash for Work in Zaatari Camp, 2017

Analysis the export trade in 2015 Jordan, the second most export trade of Jordan is the textile industry. Most of them are clothing. As well as in Syria before the war. It means that if we choice to develop textile industry in the camp, it can help Jordan to create more export value, and it is also can contribute the Syria after the end of their war.

Trading Market Design

This is the final trading market. It developed by several phases according the development of all this strategy.

Training Center Design

Refugees who want to learn some new skills, they can learn from here. When we start our design, we consider that if the refugee wants to move or they want to come back after the war, what they can bring back? The skills, is our answer. As we mentioned before, textile industry in Syria is also the second important export trade before the war. After the end of the war, they can come back to their country to contribute. The training centre is also can be used to collect clothing. And translate the productions to trading market.

Workshops Design

Inset in a shelter

Extra workshop

2-unit assembling

There are five optional models we can use. It is flexible to apply in the camp. Inset in a shelter, extra workshop, 2-unit assembling, 3-unit assembling and 4-unit assembling. Refugee they can work together or individually.

Phase One

First phase, our plan just starts in one of the 12 districts. There are several workshops disperse in NO.11 districts. There is also one training centre. After several months or weeks working, NGO create a space for them to sale their productions. They built a small shop for showing their productions to citizens, and create a small window to translate their clothing to outside.

66


Phase Two The sound phase, more districts participate in this plan. There are more small shops open around the first one. More windows created on the fence.

67


Phase Three

The third phase, more and more workshops appear in Zaatari camp. They are not satisfied with the small windows and small shops behind the fence. According the production become popular, more and more companies and citizens prefer to by clothing from the Zattari’s clothing shops. They asked the NGO to give them more spaces and permission for running their bossiness. Then the market street appears. Some refugee can get the permission from the NGO to work for the market street. There is no fence stand between the production with customers.

Phase Four

At the fourth phase, it is a free market zone. In this time all of the districts participate in the programme. NGO create an area for refugee to selling refugees’ textile production. Even refugee still need permission to cross the border to this open area. How to defined this area? It is not a part in the refugee camp, it is also not a part of the outside city. We called it as a void space. The border is not clear like before. They participated in a social life, in some extent, we can say they have a part life of citizen. At least they have the chance to communicate to outside. They are living in this country. And, that is just a beginning.
