Salem AlQudwa Headshot

An award-winning architect and university lecturer, Salem explores everyday architecture as a resource for positive social transformation. His project is to design and articulate a model for the reconstruction of communities devastated by conflict. By recognizing the agency and social responsibility of architects, he wants to confront conventional attitudes surrounding residential reconstruction in Gaza by creating a nurturing and safe environment for women and children, and empowering communities.
