Eine Veranstaltung in Kooperation mit der Zentralvereinigung der Architekten, Vorarlberg Since territorial disputes are resolved through spatial resolutions, architects and planners should be involved in crafting them. SAYA/Design for change – an Israeli based practiced, has worked for the past decade to develop this pioneering approach and has created numerous visions for peace. In this lecture, Karen Lee Bar-Sinai will share the roles that architects and designers can have in visualising how peace could and should look like, and the ways to bring urban vision and design into peace proposals and affect peace processes. In line with the focus of the current exhibition in the museum- “Endstation Sehnsucht”, Karen Lee will share visions for the Jerusalem seam. She will go through various proposals for sites along the seam – some produced in collaboration with Palestinian architects, and dive into concepts which have been disseminated amongst high-ranking decision makers and officials, and have served Israeli-Palestinian leaders during previous negotiations. Karen Lee Bar-Sinai (B. Arch. MSc.) – is a licensed Architect and Urban Designer, a graduate of the Israeli Technion, The London School of Economics, and the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. She has co-founded and currently heads SAYA/Design for Change – a design practice dedicated to envisioning and designing peace. Throughout the years, her practice has developed numerous plans and visions for Israeli Palestinian peace as well as for other contested areas. Her work has been awarded and published internationally (The New Yorker, The Atlantic Magazine, Domus, Le Monde, Haaretz and more), and has served leaders in former negotiations. Karen Lee is also a Lecturer in the Faculty of Urban Design at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, where she focuses on the agency of design on the Urban scale.
