, the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater in downtown LA’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, is currently showing Decolonizing Architecture, an exhibition assuming that the current residents of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank will ultimately have to evacuate their homes as they are predicted to be transferred to Palestinian control.
The question the architects attempt to probe in this compact and provocative display is simultaneously politically theoretical and architecturally concrete: What will happen to the houses left behind when Palestinians take over Israeli settlements in the West Bank? A query inscribed on one of the walls is more blunt: “How to inhabit the house of your enemy?” - Jewish Journal
Decolonizing Architecture is on view until February 6, 2011 at REDCAT.

"How to inhabit the house of your neighbor?" would be a more suitable question. But those of us who read the news don't have to speculate. When the Israelis left the Arabs advanced greenhouse structures in the 2005 Gaza evacuation the Arabs promptly destroyed them. Ditto for the UN summer camps last year.
some people don't like leftover. like myself.
