Call for Entries: Rifat Chadirji Prize 2026: The Right to Landscape
Reclaiming Land and Sustaining Lives in Sahl Al Khiam, Lebanon
The Rifat Chadirji Award invites landscape architects, architects, and urban planners worldwide to propose a landscape led recovery vision for Sahl Al Khiam in Southern Lebanon. The valley, an agricultural lifeline endured occupation and recurrent bombardment, remains vital to the livelihoods, ecology, and identity of the Khiam community. Despite extensive damage, the Sahl survives as a rare space of continuity and refuge.
This year’s cycle considers Sahl Al Khiam as a key case study for the role of landscape in post war recovery. Participants are invited to address the core design question: How can a landscape led recovery vision for Sahl Al Khiam restore livelihoods, protect ecological systems, and affirm the community’s right to landscape in a landscape that endured occupation and recurrent bombardment?
