Build your own shelter is a small manual in which we guide public to reflect on the definition of a shelter. Through the process of building we ask ourself what it exactly means to feel 'safe'. Do you feel most safe with people? or alone? Do you feel most safe in a crowded space? or an empty space? Do you feel safe with concrete mass? or light textile?.. The project can be seen as an experiment in which we explore the borders of a 'shelter'.
