#Gazagram : Redevelopment & Innovation In The Finite City

Part 2 Project 2016

The Finite City Strategy attempts to work within difficult contextual constraints, capitalizing on local knowledge, recycled materials and infinite digital resources. Through virtual and physical stitching, the Finite City Strategy offers a platform to rebuild Gaza and its community. While re-purposing building material from the ruins, the project proposes a series of community incubators operated by locals to rebuild their homes, inverting pockets of destruction into moments of opportunity.
