Abstract

In the context of Gaza, where the
relationship between home and street is
no longer a conventional one, the city
has become a landscape of fractured
structures and exposed skin. Amid
the relentless destruction of Gaza’s
infrastructure, neighbourhoods, and
homes, individuals and communities are
cultivating hope and resilience through
innovative spatial practices. This talk,
presented by Architects for Gaza, will
share some innovative reconstruction/
resilient practices that emerged out
of urgency and scarcity inspired by the
innovative practices of individuals and
communities in Gaza – practices that
move beyond traditional reconstruction
calling for the right to the city, right
to a home and the right to resources.
