Architecture for Co-existence Y’AHL el HAY is a community-focused design project that entails the development and upgrade of the health centre at first and has been extended to integrate as well the open area surrounding it and the community kindergarten yard through several design interventions that emerged from participatory sessions held with the city council, doctors, nurses, health clinic staff, Local NGO’s, local builders and craftsmen and the population in the vicinity of the clinic including the children. The inclusion in the project has been extended throughout its lifetime through team building and trainings workshops yielding direct feedback of the ongoing work, cohesion among community actors and a stronger sense of ownership of the space.
