WWWADI is a map-based, interactive platform that reimagines the historic Palestinian neighborhood of Wadi Nisnas in Haifa. Combining 3D modeling, storytelling, and participatory design, it serves as a living archive, preserving and celebrating the memories, histories, and cultural significance of the neighborhood.

Users navigate the platform through a point-and-click interface, uncovering interactive dioramas that bring stories to life with animations, soundscapes, and visuals. Each station represents a piece of Wadi Nisnas’ heritage, from community landmarks to personal memories, gathered through collaborations with residents.

WWWADI is designed to grow and adapt, inviting contributions from the community to ensure the platform remains dynamic and reflective of the neighborhood’s evolving identity. By blending digital art and oral history, it provides a space where past and present converge, offering audiences a unique way to connect with Wadi Nisnas from anywhere in the world.
