Architecture student Viktor Ramos has a great idea that may solve the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Instead of building walls or tunnels we can create bridges so two states can live together, superposed. This could be the only way to have the two countries living together in peace: on top and below each other.
“This thesis takes a formal approach to understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by studying mechanisms of control within the West Bank. The occupation of the West Bank has had tremendous effects on the urban fabric of the region because it operates spatially. Through the conflict, new ways of imagining territory have been needed to multiply a single sovereign territory into many. It is only through the overlapping of two separate political geographies that they are able to inhabit the same landscape.”( Viktor Ramos )
The large bridge between Israel and Palestinian territories can sustain life, house people, and allow for the free transit of people.
Both countries Israel and Palestine will have bridges over each other’s ground, so everybody is happy. This is in theory. The idea could be interesting but what about the land under the bridge? Wouldn’t be a little dark there? Because would be covered by the bridge?
I think this is one of the biggest problem of the project. It is good that people around the world are thinking about solving this conflict!
