Fill this form to have the opportunity to join the New Generations platform: submissions will be reviewed on a daily-basis, and the most innovative practices will have the chance to be part of the media's coverage and participate in our cultural agenda, including events, research projects, workshops, exhibitions and publications.
New Generations is a European platform that investigates the changes in the architectural profession ever since the economic crisis of 2008. We analyse the most innovative emerging practices at the European level, providing a new space for the exchange of knowledge and confrontation, theory, and production.
Since 2013, we have involved more than 300 practices from more than 20 European countries in our cultural agenda, such as festivals, exhibitions, open calls, video-interviews, workshops, and experimental formats. We aim to offer a unique space where emerging architects could meet, exchange ideas, get inspired, and collaborate.

Frequencies and wavelength are the relational backbones to the telecommunication infrastructures we build. They are sites of mediation, but they are equally sites of domination and contestation. As this medium propagates from one point to another, the behavior of radio propagation is not dictated by borders or national boundaries, but by the governmental administration of the wavelengths. For instance, the Israeli state governs the release of frequencies across the occupied territories of the West Bank. Blocking access to frequencies is a tactic deployed by the government to prevent, and suspend, the Palestinians from exercising their rights to use the technology and improve the urban city's conditions. As a result, the cellular landscape of the West Bank becomes characterized by the contradictory policies and the uneven development of the telecommunication infrastructures, unfolding the ways that the checkered cellular coverage can come to matter both spatially and politically. The geopolitical power over the enclaved Palestinian regions is secured within the realm of the electromagnetic sphere and its algorithms. This proposal examines how this appropriated cellular network in the occupied West Bank territorialise the land differently, which are both expanding and constraining ways of inflicting violence. In this publication, I reveal how transmission of 3G signals follow a particular spatial order and obey the territorial demarcations that are imposed on Palestinian territories of the West Bank. The publication is accompanied with a series of maps revealing enclaved cellular spaces that are as enclosed, demarcated and confined as the cities in West Bank.
