Abstract
At a time when Gaza is subjected to an unrelenting Israeli military campaign and forced starvation, and when the International Court of Justice has ruled Israelâs war aims violate Palestinian rights under the Genocide Convention, you would be forgiven for not turning to a book on architecture to learn about Gaza. Still, I recommend Open Gaza to JAE readers as a means of considering the role of architecture and design professionals relative to these events and their aftermaths. Borne out of the editorsâ anguish during another major assaultâthe horrific events of Operation Protective Edge in 2014, itself just one of several such assaults in past decadesâthis volume offers a powerful and engaging, yet approachable, entry point into the subject, especially for students.
