This chapter outlines the theoretical reference framework of the topic, analysing the evolution in notions of emergency, temporariness and innovation recorded in the last century (Sect. 1.1). A review of current scientific literature at European level allowed an increased application of these concepts in emergency interventions in developing countries. Some promising innovation trajectories have thus been identified for Low-Tech construction, as well as many links to circular economy principles. This highlighted the need for a change from linear to circular production processes and, also, in systems of construction in both the scale of the single artefact and of an entire city (Sect. 1.2).
When interviewed, by the authors, Richard Douzjian (Sect. 1.3) highlighted both the potential and critical aspects of the topic, due to the Lebanese architect’s significant professional experience in designing post-disaster interventions that experimentally applied alternative Low-Tech materials.
