Our reflection on the war in Gaza, particularly regarding the loss of historical memory, has been published in the magazine "Il Giornale dell'Architettura".
Buildings are not simply physical structures; they represent the history, culture, and identity of a community. In Gaza, many of these structures have roots that extend back centuries. Ancient mosques, churches, markets, and traditional homes reflect the cultural and religious heritage of a region that has seen the passage of various civilizations. Each building, with its unique architecture, tells a story.
In conclusion, the war in Gaza not only causes the loss of human lives and material damage but also erases a vital part of the region's historical memory. The destruction of historic buildings represents a deep wound that will take a long time to heal, if it ever does.
