"Design a cozy, human-centered pavilion to serve as a shelter for homeless people in Lebanon, inspired by the architectural philosophy of BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group). The structure should be modular, low-cost, and adaptable, using warm materials like wood, natural fabrics, and polycarbonate to create a welcoming, non-institutional atmosphere. Incorporate BIG’s approach to playful geometry, integrated functionality, and urban sustainability — such as sloped green roofs, daylight-optimized openings, and social gathering nooks. The pavilion should offer protection from Lebanon’s seasonal climate, include communal and private sleeping zones, and reflect an optimistic architectural language that promotes dignity and belonging. Set it in an urban or semi-urban Lebanese setting, ideally near a park or unused lot, with soft lighting and inviting textures."

"Design a contemporary pavilion intended as a shelter for homeless individuals in Lebanon. The structure should be inspired by Zaha Hadid's architectural language — incorporating fluid, organic forms, dynamic curves, and a seamless integration with the urban or natural terrain. Use lightweight and sustainable materials, with modular and scalable units for flexible occupancy. The design should prioritize dignity, spatial comfort, and community interaction, incorporating shaded areas, flowing circulation paths, and integrated seating or sleeping zones. Reflect a futuristic yet humane aesthetic that balances formal innovation with real social function. Set the pavilion in a Lebanese urban or semi-urban context, using soft natural lighting to emphasize form and materiality."
