Architectural Competition: Schools for Palestine
Schools for Palestine: Be Part of the Solution
In a world often marred by conflict and displacement, the importance of education cannot be overstated. Archstorming in collaboration with an international NGO Wallah We Can has launched an inspiring initiative, Schools for Palestine: Mobile Schools as an Emergency Response, inviting architects, engineers, designers, and thinkers from around the globe to contribute to a cause that is both urgent and noble.
Archstorming, in collaboration with the NGO Wallah We Can, is launching an international architecture competition to design mobile schools in the West Bank. This initiative aims to provide an urgent solution to the systematic and intentional demolition of buildings, including schools, in Palestine.
The Challenge
The ongoing conflict in the West Bank has forced thousands of Palestinian children out of their schools. To address this pressing issue, Archstorming seeks innovative and sustainable solutions for mobile schools that can be quickly deployed in emergency situations.
