This thesis aims to depict Syrian refugees' detrimental livelihoods in the area of Izmir, Turkey and to through mapping, prototyping building and analysing two live projects - developed using a combination of Participatory Action Research and Design Thinking - provide examples on how architects and architecture students can work within the field of displacement. The projects are in two different contexts and have been carried out by students at Umeå School of Architecture, including the authors of this paper. The first is about creating a multi-use activity space at the rooftop of TIAFI community centre, located in Basmane - a refugee dense area in the city of Izmir. The second one is based in the nomadic labour camps in the farmlands of Torbali - a peripheral city to Izmir.
