ABSTRACT
This chapter considers a process of thinking and making that has been taking place while working in Palestine. In the critical location of Beit Iksa, sitting on the outskirts of Jerusalem, only 1,600 inhabitants are left to fight for their existence against the ongoing Israeli project of marginalization. While looking at Beit Iksa in relation to the larger urban context of Palestine, different moments of possibilities were captured from within its fragmented map. These were taken by cutting through the occupied land in a process that was intended to re-read its potentials. The outcome has been a series of concepts that have emerged in response to the Surface, Air, and In-Between framework. The local residents through their informal practices to hunt for work and break the isolation are carving out new spatial realities that need to be included within the matrix of spatial possibilities.
