OverviewThis book is part of the European Cultural Center's exhibition at the European Cultural Center at Palazzo Mora during the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale. GHETTO is a theoretical project which proposes wealth transfer from American tourists to Iranian refugees seeking shelter and fundamental human needs, with the intention of creating inclusive cities where all feel welcome. In collaboration with the UNHCR, HPA proposes GHETTO: Sanctuary for Sale which includes within it a twofold narrative and architectural manifesto while positing the question, ""What does it mean to be a citizen?"" Two graphic novel narratives, written from both the perspective of the tourist and the refugee, describe how each individual may become a citizen of the collective world community. The book illustrates how the innovative timeshare-refugee housing model inherently supports the potential to change the world view to encourage inclusivity. Demonstrating the studio's credo in this theoretical project, Henriquez Partners Architects aims to elicit meaningful discussions concerning models of architectural practice that enable diverse cultural landscapes to thrive and promote social good on the tiny planet we call home.
