The choice for the location in the park was driven by an urgent, temporary measure aimed at accommodating 370 migrants.

The dwellings are accessed by an external gallery open to a public courtyard, which connects to the Sismondi streetcar stop and to the Rigot park. acau architecture, Middle Density, Politics and economics, Project, Technology and fabrication, Urban Paradigms Affordable Housing, Architecture&environment, Economy, Flexibility, Geneva, low cost, Low impact, Modular housing, Multiscale approach, Optimized construction, Prefabrication, Project, Recycling, Social contributor, Social housing, Sustainable construction, Switzerland, Timber, Timber Structure Photography: Marcel Kultscher and Enric Rovira Architecture Emergency Shelter Refugee Crisis Geneva, Switzerland Switzerland 2575-5374 https://urbannext.net/rigot-collective-dwelling-centre/ https://urbannext.net/rigot-collective-dwelling-centre/ ES-BaAUN 221102 20230214124656.0 eng
