All participants are encouraged to critically investigate the site in conjunction with an in-depth consideration for its immediate and wider context. Specifically, considerations should be given to: 

• selecting specific target groups, users and beneficiaries; 

• configuring a specific architectural program; 

• conducting architectural design; 

• specifing processes and features of construction; and 

• proposing organization and management of building complex. 

The new facility should also aim to meet the principles and main guidelines provided by global agendas: 

• the UN Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs), namely Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
   

• the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Conventionon Climate Change
   

• the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
   

• the Legal and Protection Policy Research Series of the UNHCR, such as the Rights of Refugees in the Context of Integration: Legal Standards and Recommendations.
  Special attention should be given to the term “integration” as explained in In Chapter 1: The right to integration assistance of 1951 Convention:

“The term integration (‘assimilation’) has also been interpreted as referring to the process of laying the foundations for the refugee to become familiar with the customs, language and way of life of the country of asylum, so that without any feeling of coercion, he/she may more readily be integrated into the different aspects of life in the country of refuge. This may be accomplished through such means as, inter alia, language and vocational courses, lectures on national institutions and culture,  and by creating opportunities for stimulating contacts between refugees and the host population. As such, any definition of “integration”, as well as integration frameworks or programmes should reflect an approach which promotes acceptance and respect for the refugee’s way of life and culture, while  also providing assistance for their functional and cultural adaptation into the host society.”

• the Report on the World Social Situation 2016, Leaving no one Behind: The Imperative of Inclusive Development  In Chapter I Identifying social inclusion and exclusion, here are the key messages:

​

• Social exclusion is a multidimensional phenomenon not limited to material deprivation; poverty is an important dimension of exclusion, albeit only one dimension. Accordingly, social inclusion processes involve more than improving access to economic resources.

​

• Social inclusion is defined as the process of improving the terms of participation in society, particularly for people who are disadvantaged, through enhancing opportunities, access to resources, voice and respect for rights.

​

• Measuring social exclusion is challenging due to its multidimensional nature and the lack of standard data sources across countries and for all social groups at highest risk of being left behind. Despite limitations, the existing data allow for a meaningful analysis of key aspects of exclusion. The report presents these data while illustrating data gaps.

​

• While inclusion is a core aspiration of the 2030 Agenda, conceptual and analytical work on what constitutes inclusion, as well as efforts to improve data availability, are needed.
