"BEYOND THE RUIN" is focused on the relationship between buildings abandoned by the crisis and users who are in a state of forced transit due to military conflicts. Nowadays, these buildings fulfill a possible reactivation for the lodging of this exposed group of people, triggering a great variety of dynamics in their ways of life. Lifestyles that have been affected by modifying their daily habits already developed in their past day by day. These new ways of life have generated a great exchange of customs, habits and culture, as well as accessibility to distant geographies, unknown to this group of people, but in turn cause a great imbalance in the sense of belonging, drastically affecting the routines and customs of each one of them, and the alteration of the space occupied by these actors.

Where will I stay tonight? It is a frequent question when they have not yet reached any place where they can rest and leave their belongings for a moment. People, who are in transit conditions, make the inequality that exists more visible, because of the way they occupy the places
