Description
Architecture of Resistance investigates the relationship between architecture, politics, and power, and how these factors interplay in light of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. It takes Palestine as the key ground of spatial exploration, looking at the spaces between people, boundary lines, documents, and maps in a search for the meaning of architecture of resistance.
Stemming from the need for an alternative discourse that can nourish the Palestinian spaces of imagination, the author reinterprets the land from a new perspective, by stripping it of the dominant power of lines to expose the hidden dynamic topography born out of everyday Palestine.
It applies a hybrid approach of research through design and visual documentary, using text, illustrations, mapping techniques, and collages, to capture the absent local narrative as an essential component of spatial investigation.
