Schools for Palestine - Mobile Schools as an Emergency Response

Save this picture!

New Humanitarian Competition for the Creation of Mobile Schools in Palestine

Archstorming, in collaboration with the NGO Wallah We Can, is launching an international architecture competition to design mobile schools in the West Bank, providing an urgent solution to the systematic and intentional demolition of buildings, including schools, in Palestine.

These mobile schools will ensure the continuity of education for Palestinian children, and your registration will contribute to Wallah We Can's efforts to build the winning project in Khan Al Ahmar, a Palestinian village facing a general demolition order.

The Challenge

The competition seeks innovative designs for mobile, flexible, and modular schools that can be easily dismantled, transported, and reassembled in the event of a demolition order. Therefore, projects must incorporate lightweight and durable materials that are easy to transport and assemble.

In addition to addressing the immediate needs in Palestine, this competition aims to serve as a replicable model for other conflict zones around the world.

The Jury

The competition boasts a prestigious jury that includes, among other prominent architects, Lesley Lokko, Sumayya Vally, and Tosin Oshinowo.

Prizes

• 1st Prize: €6,000 + Project Construction
• 2nd Prize: €2,000
• 3rd Prize: €1,000
• 2 Special Honorable Mentions of €500 each
• 10 Honorable Mentions

Winning and finalist projects will be published in architecture magazines, blogs, and social media, as well as on the Archstorming website. All participants will receive a digital certificate of participation.
