HOME MADE KIT

 

AL SIRA, ISRAEL, 2016

‬In the last decade alone‭, ‬Israel‭ ‬has been trying to battle illegal construction in unrecognized Bedouin villages in the south‭, ‬a region that is home to over 80,000‭ ‬Bedouin‭ ‬residents‭ ‬living in these so-called unrecognized villages‭. ‬These villages are not connected to Israel’s power grid or water system‭, ‬and those who decide to stay in the villages and‭ ‬build their homes there‭ ‬face a constant threat of eviction and having their homes demolished‭.‬

Home Made Kit includes two computer applications‭ ‬that can be used as a tool to guide the Bedouins through the process of designing‭, ‬planning, and building their homes‭. ‬The bundle‭ ‬is designed to design different temporary buildings that are cheap‭ ,‬environmentally friendly‭, ‬and the structures’‭ ‬unique design allows for quick disassembly when the state issues a demolition‭ ‬warrant‭. ‬The structures can then be easily put back together at a later time‭. ‬In addition‭, ‬Home Made allows temporary buildings to be designed according to the needs of each family‭, ‬and‭, ‬thanks to its user-friendly interface‭, ‬the app allows anyone to become the designer and builder of their house‭ ‬‮–‬‭ ‬without the help of an architect‭.‬
