This 1:1 installation is a fragment of an off the grid experimental lab typology for the context of Gaza. It brings to the surface alternative materials and techniques built out of urgency and scarcity, challenging the consumer-driven construction industry, both in UK and the Global south by re-appropriating its discards. The room in its complete form can be used as a healthcare clinic, class room or Home.
The Lab, being ongoing process of testing and making, suggests alternative use of materials including crushed concrete, R-bars, corrugated sheets, sandbags, fired/unfired clay panels and other components. The outcome may suggest a new and unfamiliar aesthetic inspired by the local context and needs.
The exhibition Hosted by University of Westminster, School of Architecture, 25-30 June. Access need assistance available at the reception.
Key partners: University of Westminster (MA Architecture + BSc Architecture, Fabrication Lab), Architects For Gaza and Mobile International Surgical Team.
