"LIFTA: Architecturally, the village’s houses, water wells, mosque and cemetery are the archetypal example of local vernacular architecture. The buildings’ facades, materials, program, circulation and ornament are nothing but Palestinian.
Post-Nakba Lifta cannot be studied as solely a number of structures. Lifta must be referred to holistically as a ‘site,’ which not only represents its stone structures but also its landscape, paths, oral history and living memory."
