The architecture of forced displacement is the subject of “Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter,” a forthcoming exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit will assemble work by architects, designers, and artists responding to the global refugee crisis.
Curated by Sean Anderson, MoMA’s associate curator for architecture and design, with curatorial assistant Arièle Dionne-Krosnick, “Insecurities” will include works of design built to help alleviate suffering inside refugee camps.

Call it temporary-design of displacement. "Architecture" implies a long term solution.
The neoliberal MoMA is gravitating toward these kind of generalist shows where an obvious social good is used to water down the meaning of architecture.
