’emergency nodes’ is a project that was conceived and developed by tham & videgard arkitekts for the recent ‘crossing: dialogues for emergency architecture exhibition held at NAMOC (national art museum of china). tham & videgard arkitekts proposed emergency architecture based on transforming a temporary camp into an urban environment. the idea was to integrate public spaces with an urban strategy so that the result is operative from day one and can also function as a guide encouraging successive development over time.
