Sketch for Syria

A global call for drawings

The Sketch for Syria initiative is a call to the architects of the world to imagine, trace and share possible scenarios for the reconstruction process. 132 entries came from 27 different countries while 52 sketchbooks came directly from Syria through a collaboration with UN-ESCWA. Participating architects left their own mark: retracing past or imaginary journeys, tracing hypotheses of the future, reflecting on the drama of refugees and migrants, choosing artistic provocation, using the pencil as a weapon of peace.
