One Land & Platform Paradise

“Both the past and the future can be constructed or destroyed - literally, through what we choose to build, protect and create in the physical world.

One Land Two Systems aims to make visible the reality of this 'state of apartheid' in Israeli architecture and planning. The project includes photography exhibitions and public debates, plus an architectural competition to design alternative planning solutions. Together, these activities will expose deeply cultural (and ideological) assumptions about the way we plan and design our own, and other people's, life-worlds.

They have a very real sense of urgency - not just in the face of current developments, such as the construction of the Wall in occupied Palestinian territory,

but also given the demolition orders for parts of Palestinian villages that are given out on regular basis by Israeli regional planners.

It is this often 'invisible' or 'unrecognised' reality of architecture and planning practices that the project sets out to expose. Israeli planning is an extreme example of a more general condition that can be found worldwide. Conflicting territorial claims (for example, for economical and environmental causes) are a fact of modern life.”
