Abeer Seikaly Integrates Bedouin Weaving into Adaptive Shelter Designs for Displaced Populations

Jordanian-Palestinian designer Abeer Seikaly applies traditional Bedouin weaving techniques to create adaptable architectural solutions for displaced communities. Her ongoing project 'Weaving a Home' (2020–present) features collapsible dome structures with integrated water and energy systems, designed for long-term use. Other works include 'Terroir' (2022–present), a mobile cultural space crafted with Jordanian artisans, and 'Meeting Points' (2019), a reconfigurable installation. Seikaly's approach emphasizes community collaboration and material knowledge, aiming to provide sustainable, evolving shelters that respond to environmental and social needs.
