About Discussions Projects57 Journals60 Publications5 Competitions3

Persian architecture encompasses centuries of design philosophy centered on courtyards, geometric patterns, and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. The tradition spans from historic oasis settlements and Silk Road trade routes to modern urban contexts, with principles that continue to influence contemporary practice.

The community explores how designers reinterpret Persian architectural heritage through current residential and urban projects, examining material traditions, courtyard typologies, and spatial narratives while addressing contemporary living needs in Iranian cities.

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.
