In the contemporary condition of fluidity and uncertainty and in an era of successive crises, economic, health, environmental and geopolitical, the relationship of the individual with space and place is becoming ephemeral. Stability is eroded, daily life becomes precarious, and mobility becomes dominant in all spheres of life. In particular, characteristic of the contemporary experience is a literal or even metaphorical displacement associated with the loss of place, security and sense of belonging. The individual seems to move constantly, between identities and conditions, becoming a nomad, a tourist, a refugee, a migrant. This research explores how this new condition redefines the notion of dwelling, framing shelter not merely as physical protection but as a crucial element for the construction of identity and spatial belonging. Through this study, new questions arise: /What does shelter mean when place is no longer a given? /How does one dwell in a world of constant displacement?
