Not a proposal for a building.
A proposal for a future.

Behind every tent is a story. Behind every shelter is a family.

In displacement camps, daily life continues despite uncertainty. Children play in narrow spaces, families create routines, and communities support one another under incredibly difficult conditions.

The Rebuilding Gaza Competition begins with a simple yet urgent question:

How can design help restore dignity, safety, and hope?

Phase 01: Rubble to Shelters calls on designers worldwide to explore innovative shelter solutions for displaced communities and contribute ideas that can inspire meaningful change.

Join us in transforming challenges into opportunities for resilience.
