UNESCO Launches International Architecture Competition for Ancient Jericho
UNESCO announces the launch of an international, single-stage, open architecture competition for the design of a protective shelter over Trench I at the Ancient Jericho / Tell es-Sultan Archaeological Site in Jericho, State of Palestine.
The competition, endorsed by the International Union of Architects (UIA), is organised by the UNESCO Office in Ramallah, in coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA), with the financial support of Italy through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation.
The project calls for the design of a reversible, non-invasive and climate-responsive shelter that ensures the long-term conservation of the site while preserving its Outstanding Universal Value. The intervention will integrate a visitor walkway and elevated viewing platform, enhancing interpretation of the site while carefully managing access and protecting its fragile archaeological layers.
