The book Structures of Displacement refers to a joint project between [a]FA at the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) for the conception and design of the Agricultural Training Center in Harsham Camp in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan (2016-2019), a contribution to the overall UN brief of "integrated stabilization, economic recovery and reconstruction support for displaced persons and returnees".
