Architecture of Repair in Palestine

KoozArch

Architecture of Repair in Palestine is a nomadic forum launched in January 2023 that explores repair as resistance and liberation through multimedia projects and symposia. Conceived as a stream of consciousness, Season Two — produced by Husam Abusalem, Emilio Distretti and Margarida Waco — rejects linear narratives and false resolutions, reflecting the fragmented realities of Palestinian life. Rather than offering solutions, the project invites attentive listening, sustained discomfort, and an understanding of repair as continuity, mourning and refusal.Season One was presented by The Funambulist in spring 2025, with the essay series Palestinian Repairs co-produced with e-flux architecture in winter 2025.
