It began with the simple, but sad real­isation that refugees today have to spend much longer than just a few days or weeks living in camps. Their stay often lasts months or years. Hamburg-based artist Daniel Kerber has therefore 
developed new ideas for emergency accommodation with his social business called “more than shelters”. He recently opened an innovation and planning 
agency in a camp in Saatari, Jordan, where the project is to be expanded. From 2015, Kerber’s Domo tent system will also be marketed for non-humanitarian purposes so that more than shelters can become self-supporting.
