This project proposes an embassy that recognises the unrecognised. Positioned across the boundary between Vatican City and Rome, where political and ideological conditions collide, it challenges the stability of borders by exposing how recognition shifts depending on position, turning the embassy into a spatial mediator between conflicting realities.

Using Palestine as a continuous case, the project traces a condition of being widely known yet persistently denied, embedding this tension within the architecture. Drawing on The Little Lantern, it translates themes of justice, collective responsibility and unity into spatial form, where the building becomes a device that brings people together while holding unresolved political contradictions in place.
