Design by Our Hands
Four Generations of Toilets in Palestinian Refugee Camps
An architectural design manual and research article investigating the space-making agency in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine. Through tracing the spatial transformations of four generations of toilets, the booklet documents the histories of construction practices, tools, and technologies in the camp. This work also offers a design toolkit by refugees for other refugees.
This project is part of my MA Thesis at the Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College and supervised by professor Ziad Abu Rish.
