YARA SHARIF<\/strong> | RECLAIMING, REMEMBERING, AND REAWAKENING A SCARRED LANDSCAPE<\/h6>\n

Architects for Gaza\u2019s strategy for healing and empowering the scarred landscapes of Gaza centres on accumulated small-scale, site-specific interventions as an alternative to master plans and a one-size-fits-all approach. At a time when global powers openly call for turning Gaza into a blank canvas and redrawing it, architecture has the potential to challenge the colonial narrative and hierarchy of knowledge production, exploring repair as resistance, mourning, and continuity.<\/span><\/p>\n
