'Rebuilding Gaza' Video Wins Architizer Vision Awards 2025 Jury Prize

New York-based architecture platform Architizer has announced 'Rebuilding Gaza – Landscape of Peace' by Egyptian architectural visualisation company Mozses as the 2025 Vision Awards Jury Winner in the Architecture Video Experimental category. The project design concept was done by Egyptian architect and urbanist Islam Mashtooly, presenting Gaza’s reconstruction as both a challenge and an opportunity. The video explores how the city’s debris and remains can be transformed into a foundation for sustainability and resilience. It delves into questions of self-sufficiency across energy, nature, food, water, building materials, and carbon. This framework is encapsulated in the call to “build from what’s left, build from what’s available, build from what they know.” Part of Mozses founder Karim Moussa’s 'Landscapes of Peace' series, 'Rebuilding Gaza' reflects a broader vision for architecture that looks beyond immediate recovery to imagine long-term prosperity and continuity. In reframing destruction as a resource, it opens dialogue on how design can support communities in shaping their own futures. Selected from entries spanning over 100 countries, the Vision Awards highlight creativity in architectural storytelling, from sketches and models to photography and film. With a global jury including renowned architects Steven Holl, Daniel Libeskind and Lyndon Neri, the program recognises projects that push how architecture is communicated and understood worldwide. Earlier this year, 'Rebuilding Gaza' was also showcased at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 as part of the Time Space Existence exhibition by the European Cultural Center.
