Ein Hud

Architecture and planning are often used to commit crimes against humanity. In the recent past, you, the architecture community, helped us with ideas about how to counter this situation. Now, FAST calls on you again.

We need your financial support to change the reality of Ein Hud. In 2008, FAST will realize a series of concrete interventions for this community of internal Palestinian refugees in Israel. These will show that architecture matters and that alternative planning can produce a different, human, solution.

In the past three years, we have developed the One Land Two Systems project. The project aims at exposing the situation of the unrecognized Palestinian villages in Israel, and at the same time finding alternative planning solutions for one of these villages, Ein Hud.

An international architecture and design competition for an alternative master plan for Ein Hud generated 100 plans from more then 30 countries. The winning teams developed a sustainable solution for the village together with the community.

This plan is now used as a negotiation document with the authorities; to have Ein Hud fully recognized by the State. Our master plan is on the verge of a breakthrough, which is unprecedented in the history of Israel; the military area that is now located inside and around the village is likely to be transformed into the tourist area we envision in the plan.

In the summer of 2008, we want to finalize the project with a series of interventions. We will generate concrete cultural, economical and spatial changes in Ein Hud.
