The Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory is an architectural think-tank that works on the intersection between architecture, planning, and human rights. FAST seeks to improve the quality of the built environment and people’s livelihoods in conflict areas. FAST projects include the award-winning book 'Atlas of the Conflict: Israel-Palestine' and 'BLUE: Architecture of UN Peacekeeping Missions,' the 2016 Dutch entry to the Venice Architecture Biennale. FAST is led by Malkit Shoshan.
