made in Dheisheh

A study on the exisiting typologies in Dheisheh. The buildings act like characters. Just like the people in the camp. It feels as if there are no professions but more social roles and unique characters residing in the camp. The buildings reflect the same identity. Aside from the informal housing which in itself reflects the character of its resident, there are a number of buildings in the camp which offer more public functions. These buildings are part of the services of the camp, and as such are comparable to the auxilliary spaces of a house. As the housing units act as bedrooms of the camp residents, these unique units act as the other programs. For example the Ibdaa center is the entertainment unit of the camp, as well as a reception room/foyer. The falafel shop is the kitchen of the camp - the school is the study of the camp, the bridge symbolizes a link with the camp for the refugees that live outside of it. The barber grooms everyone in the camp. The taxi-station is like the front door or the camp. As such to be able to introduce a new function into the camp, it's character needs to be introduced in the right way. The commons of the camp represent the communal life/ the shared spaces which are used by everyone. The symbolism of its function needs to be introduced to the residents of the camp

Lamp off

So I decided to drop out of the stenciling world and get into home decor. Well that's what Igor and Marina would want anyway. We made a lamp from acetate paper and a clothes hanger. It was a real manly lamp, obviously, and we gave it to Sanja for her birthday.

Lamp on

It's a wonderful life

Some monarchs from the skatebowl in CR. Us girls put these all over town...kind of soft, but they are a pretty good embodyment of the Costa Rican life...sunshine, butterflies, and all wonderful things. This picture was taken after the kids skate contest.
