Open Gaza is a research project collaboratively organised by Terreform and PART. The project seeks to intervene Gaza’s troubled post-war situation by bringing together an eclectic group of designers, environmentalists, planners, activists, and scholars. In November 2015, I presented my individual research which enquires into the relationship between Architecture, Time and Emotions at Westminster University. End of this month, I will present an updated version of my research at Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.
