A refuge for the soul
The word “shelter” is most often associated with the emergency placement of victims of natural disasters or military conflicts, and the mission of the shelter is to restore the physical strength of the victims. The organizers of this competition propose to create a shelter for the soul - a place where you can find emotional comfort, not physical. Most often this is needed by representatives of various kinds of social minorities. The structure should be designed to "shelter" one person.
