[PROJECT01] [MASTER’S THESIS] [2024/2025] [Team: Guglielmo Vitelli]ANNOZERO
[ANNO ZERO, Architecture for return, Gaza Strip]. AnnoZero responds to the housing emergency in the Gaza Strip by proposing a system of temporary, self-built, and sustainable micro-villages. Each settlement is designed to host around 265 people for a 15-year life cycle, offering an immediate yet structured response to displacement. The project operates on two interconnected scales: territorial, through a widespread strategy that restores agricultural land and transforms former devices of control into spaces for learning, community, and renewal; and architectural, through villages conceived as self-sufficient micro-communities built with the modular U-Build system, enabling simple construction, assembly, and disassembly. Beyond domestic spaces, each village integrates three essential public areas — a school/agora, a souk/market, and a covered square, built with lightweight, adaptable structures capable of evolving with the community’s needs. Rather than reconstructing the city, AnnoZero initiates a process of return, resilience, and rebirth, leaving behind traces in the landscape that become both memory and foundation for future urban regeneration.
