Brief About The Project: 

Wadi Qana valley is a natural reserve In Palestine. Its area exceeds 10,000 Dunam. The site is a critical one in Palestine due to the fact that it's being abused by Israeli settlements. Site water springs were polluted with settlements sewer water to harm the Palestinian crops. Olive and orange trees were pulled out by Settlers . The number of Palestinian families in the valley dropped from 50 to 0 in the past 10 years. Most of the old Palestinian buildings are now destroyed and need restoration.
The concept is inspired from the Palestinian architecture to enhance the Palestinians attachment to their land and save the valley from further extension of Israeli Settlements.
