Abstract:
The project addresses Palestinian liberation through building a new conceptual framework around issues of livelihood, identity ad spatial occupation of the Palestinian people by proposing a new ethos: PalestineX. Px individuals believe in Palestine in terms of action rather than affiliation, thus Px architecture is designed based on viral propagation—a new type of movement that transgresses geopolitical borders limiting the growth Palestine. So, Px architecture is a type of landscape that latches onto existing abandoned buildings to induce the production of mutual aid and self-sustainability by incubating a community of homeless people inside this architecture. It does so to invest in the Palestinian experience of suspended land and suspended belonging, and to extend it as a solution to stakeholders suffering from the same. Abandoned buildings, homeless people and the Palestinian community share an incompatible relationship between them and the geopolitical, neoliberal system of the world. The Px hack allows a new spatial alliance.
