More Than a Squat

Résumé

Aside from the social and the political conflict, the squat has its origin in land tenure, a history yet to be told. During my many field visits to Khandaq al-Ghamiq, I was always intrigued by the al-Khatib buildings, known to be a centre of squatting in the area. These buildings form a variegated mosaic of spatial decay: windowless facades contrasting with well-maintained ones, while precarious commercial activities occupy the dozen shops on the ground floor. The footprint and the density of the 1970s architecture stand out morphologically from their surroundings, mostly built before the 1960s.
