ReBuild – Building Peace Foundation

— RE:BUILD —

Re:Build is the construction system designed and developed by Building Peace Foundation in collaboration with arch. Cameron Sinclair and arch. Pouya Khazaeli. It consists of temporary, modular and re-deployable structures, which according to need, can become a house, a school, a clinic, a canteen or any other use as local needs require.

Re:Build was created to put the community at the center of the project. Given the ease and speed of assembly, the same local community (for example, the refugees themselves) is in charge for assembling the structure. A team of 10 workers, lacking any knowhow, is capable of assembling a typical structure in two weeks, with the supervision of a Building Peace technician.
