The study of ayoubi
quarters in Salihiye
Graduation Thesis
With: Faihaa Hallak
Salihiye is a very
unique part of Damascus, it’s an 800 year old urban fabric that projects the
cultural and social progress of Damascus on the streets, avenues and walls.
Typologically speaking, buildings in Salihiye are ancient ruins, traditional
courtyard houses, ancient public facilities, modern housing blocks and informal
housing. It’s a constant dialogue between vernacular and modern
architecture. Due to this variety in
form and space and the unpredictable future of the area, we focused on
establishing a relation between what’s old and what’s modern that can sustain
the changes brought by time and the various needs of the modern lifestyle, a
functional relation between old and new changing through time that reflect the
history of Salihiye as a starting point into the future. To achieve this relation
and engage the people with their abandoned heritage, we proposed several
activities that will help the residents improve themselves. The first part of
the project is a machine that turns the past into future, a cube that changes
its function from a museum into an institution containing multipurpose halls
used as work spaces or classrooms. The
Second part is an adaptable public space that ranges in use from a bazar to a
gallery to an amphitheater or just a public space for people to meet. Finally
there’s a library, an auditorium and a hostel.
