Architecture of Resistance

<p><em>Architecture of Resistance</em> 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 through text illustrations mapping techniques and collages to capture the absent local narrative as an essential component of spatial investigation. </p>
