The starting point is the fact that groups of people are placed – in the first place temporarily – in Danish rural outer areas. The publication is designed as a handbook with recommendations, examples, and scenarios that can support a locally rooted, forwardthinking, and wide-ranging approach to housing placement and the reception of refugees. Behind the handbook is a diverse team of architects, anthropologists, experts in value creation in empty buildings as well as civil society actors in the refugee area. The team’s interdisciplinarity opens to see potentials in buildings and places as well as in humans.
