Joe Algharam — 19 October 2025

Central to these discussions is the inquiry into what constitutes human identity.

After the Guns Fall Silent: Debris as a Beginning in Gaza (2)

Amir DUHAIR — 9 October 2025

If we teach the system on day one that unsorted dumping is acceptable, that weighbridges can be bypassed, that dust is the neighborhood’s problem, we will spend the next five years unlearning our own curriculum. Following the argument in “From Ruin to Spatial Justice: Reimagining Reconstruction in Gaza (1)”, and on the day active hostilities […]

Trump’s Command Diplomacy and the Shifting Global Order

Joe Algharam — 5 October 2025

Since the start of his second term, Donald Trump has approached international relations not through mutual interests but by emphasizing command and obedience and views America as an unmatched superpower with an unpredictable policy that emphasizes strength rather than cooperation with allies. One of the clearest signs of Trump’s new approach to global leadership is […]

It operates not only by refining what already exists but also by opening spaces where new ideas can take root. Looking back on […]

Walking Through Memory: Cities as Keepers of Identity

Amir DUHAIR — 26 September 2025

Urban memory has always fascinated me, not simply as an abstract concept but as a living part of who we are. Cities, after all, are not just made of concrete and stone; they are built from the layered memories of generations.
