Design Palestine’s mission is to strengthen and uplift Palestinian communities through sustainable urban development and innovative design, led by local architects, engineers, and designers. By collaborating with US teams, we aim to exchange knowledge, mentor emerging talent, and build projects that uphold the integrity of Palestinian culture, needs, and identity. Together, we seek to create resilient communities and foster a new generation of creative leaders driving meaningful change.
We work to create a collaborative platform that empowers Palestinian designers, architects, and engineers to lead sustainable, community-centered development, while fostering innovation and mutual learning between Palestinian and US teams to inspire transformative change for future generations.
Our Goals
- Capacity Building and Collaborative Development: Foster a platform for Palestinian and US teams to collaborate on urban development, architecture, engineering, and design projects that respond to local needs while integrating global expertise. These collaborative efforts will help strengthen the skills of Palestinian designers, engineers and architects by providing mentorship, knowledge exchange, and professional development opportunities.
- Integrity and Sustainability through Community-Driven Solutions: Develop projects rooted in the voices and needs of Palestinian communities, ensuring sustainable, culturally relevant, and impactful outcomes based on social and environmental contexts.
- Innovation
and Knowledge Exchange: Encourage the exchange of creative ideas, methodologies, and technological innovations between Palestinian and US teams to push boundaries in design and problem-solving.
We operate as a part of 1for3.org, a Palestinian run non-profit with over 20 years of experience working in the West Bank.
