About Discussions Projects20 Journals81

Architectural transformation refers to the process of changing an existing building or site to serve new uses, often while retaining its structure, materials or historical identity. It includes adaptive reuse of cinemas, factories and houses, as well as extensions and renovations that respond to a building's original context.

Community work under this topic examines projects that convert former industrial, cultural and residential buildings, along with sites affected by conflict or memory, such as ruins and preserved heritage objects. Submissions address how designers balance preservation, materiality and contemporary program in these interventions.

Let's assemble our ruins to make memories.

Syria is a land of different cultures and people, and this is a great gift, but sometimes great things can lead to great nothingness. Here the war was born in a state of diversity and non-unity. Certainly, in post-war situation the best way is to develop public spaces like plazas in the cities and, most importantly, in the historic downtown of Aleppo.
