Abstract
Many refugees are forced into light camps that make them vulnerable to physical and emotional dangers, and thus suffer a complete break in the social, economic and material aspects of life. The emergency camps are planned, randomly designed and intended only to provide protection from natural elements (floods - earthquakes ...) and industrial elements (wars .) which are usually built in large open areas made of simple tent structures, always temporary housing ( The camp) does not include living and sleeping spaces, as well as areas for food preparation, personal hygiene and privacy, but rather one space. Therefore, the research paper aims to monitor the evolution of building technology variables for light installations at the global level, with the aim of reaching their economic potential for application and exploitation in our society. In order to benefit from these developments in making refugee camps quickly and with high accuracy and environmentally friendly materials, and to identify the efficiency of assistive technologies for the work of light installations, especially for refugee camps, quickly and accurately, and their ability to deal with a complex creative process. The paper will deal with assessing the efficiency of advanced technologies compared to the traditional shelters commonly used in refugee camps, by developing technologies to create a (camp) model that helps in studying the cost, technical specifications, life span and delivery time for an advanced shelter. After comparison, it was found that the advanced shelter achieved lower construction cost, higher durability, and could be implemented in less time than traditional shelters
