Chapter Three, “Shelter and Domesticity,” examines the architectural coordinates of shelter, central to humanitarian and architectural practice and discourse, and the conceptual problem of domesticity, crucial for refugee lives. It theorizes the insurgent domesticities of Dadaab, contextualizing a shelter initiative led by Shamso Abdullahi Farah, a refugee mother living in Ifo camp in the 2000s, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, an organization specializing in architectural design of shelters. The chapter sets this relief-cum-development work into a history of institutionalization of a global professional architectural and planning practice of emergency relief, beginning in the early 1950s and systematizing in the 1990s. Farah's authority emerges in the domesticities of emergency, in a context that reproduces the emergency homemaker as architect. The chapter explores this and other domesticities that extend the refugee camp well beyond the practice and discourse of shelter.
