What is humanitarian architecture?

Humanitarian architecture is a type of architecture that is specifically designed to improve the living conditions of people affected by natural disasters, war, poverty, and other crises. This type of architecture focuses on creating sustainable and affordable housing, community buildings, and infrastructure that can withstand and mitigate the impact of disasters.
