Ruin in Reverse is a design inquiry on cultural heritage and human rights in military conflicts. It aims to critically reflect on the potential of design practice to contribute in this issue and to challenge the boundaries between design, art, archaeology and anthropology in relation to heritage practices.

The project was developed under an experimental process that connects material exploration to theoretical research. The materiality of 'the rubble', from depiction on media to reconstruction and reproduction, was explored through design processes and design tools such as 3D scanning and 3D printing, for example.
