the approach

TEMPLO created www.digitalcityofrefuge.com, a digital archive where the user can explore the nonlinear storytelling of LSE’s research. The archive gives people an insight into the realities of being and refugee and the migration process through their own personal stories.

The three narratives in LSE’s research of: People, Cities and Themes form the main sections of the experience, which is led by the voices of people, experiences and imaginings of the three cities.

the design

Ensuring the imagery and personal stories are the main focal point of the website, we kept the design simple and striped back to allow a balance between the: white spacing, text, images and the use of a limited colour palette including bold shades and the classic LSE red.
