Decolonizing Architecture's main aim is to profane Israel's occupation in the West Bank - to expose the irregular, sacralized institutional and power structures that its colonial planning system imposes upon Palestinians - through architectural projects. Using the Red Castle of Battir - a mansion-like building currently under construction - as a real life laboratory, they developed a series of designs that were conceived to profane this 'defect' in the Occupation. These designs, generated for a real-life client and developed for possible implementation, simultaneously speculate on the meaning and potential of this irregular situation, using the Red Castle's terraces as a counter-laboratory of colonization.
