[37] The intelligence of the grey city is hidden.

.‫[ ذﻛﺎء اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ ﻣﺨﺘﻔﻰ‬٣٧]

[38] The grey city possesses an architectural order. It has a structure. Contrary to contemporary superstition about cities, the grey city is understandable in terms of architecture.

‫ إﻧﻬﺎ متﻠﻚ‬.‫[ متﺘﻠﻚ اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ منﻂ ﻣﻌامرى‬٣٨] ‫ ميﻜﻦ ﻓﻬﻢ اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ‬،‫ ﺧﻼﻓﺎً ﻟﻠﺨﺮاﻓﺔ اﳌﻌﺎﴏة ﻟﻠﻤﺪن‬.‫ﺑﻨﻴﺔ‬ .ً‫اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ ﻣﻌامرﻳﺎ‬

[39] It is possible to understand the grey city. And it is possible to understand it by analysing its architecture. Still the only form of knowledge able to tell something about cities. Still the only way to decode distances, positions of entrances, number of floors, width of streets. Let say, context? After all, context? Architecture as a way to understand contexts?

‫ و ﻣﻦ اﳌﻤﻜﻦ‬.‫[ ﻣﻦ اﳌﻤﻜﻦ ﻓﻬﻢ اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ‬٣٩] ‫ ﻣﺎ ﺗﺰال اﻟﻌامرة‬.‫أﻳﻀﺎً ﻓﻬﻤﻬﺎ ﻋﻦ ﻃﺮﻳﻖ ﺗﺤﻠﻴﻞ ﻋامرﺗﻬﺎ‬ ‫اﻟﻄﺮﻳﻘﺔ اﻟﻮﺣﻴﺪة ﻟﻠﻤﻌﺮﻓﺔ اﻟﻘﺎدرة ﻋﲆ ﻗﻮل ﺷﺊٍ ﻣﺎ‬ ‫ ﻣﺎزاﻟﺖ ﻫﻰ اﻟﻄﺮﻳﻘﺔ اﻟﻮﺣﻴﺪة ﻟﻔﻚ ﺷﻔﺮة‬.‫ﻋﻦ اﳌﺪن‬ ‫ ﻋﺮوض‬،‫ ﻋﺪد اﻟﻄﻮاﺑﻖ‬،‫ أﻣﺎﻛﻦ اﻟﺒﻮاﺑﺎت‬،‫اﳌﺴﺎﻓﺎت‬ ،‫ اﳌﺤﻴﻂ )اﻟﺴﻴﺎق(؟ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻛﻞ ذﻟﻚ‬،‫ دﻋﻨﺎ ﻧﻘﻮل‬.‫اﻟﻄﺮق‬ ‫اﳌﺤﻴﻂ )اﻟﺴﻴﺎق(؟ اﻟﻌامرة ﻛﻄﺮﻳﻘﺔ ﻟﻔﻬﻢ اﳌﺤﻴﻂ‬ ‫)اﻟﺴﻴﺎق(؟‬

[40] To understand the grey city is not charity. The grey city has the potential to suggest amazing urban solutions. The grey city is the most challenging test case for contemporary architecture. The grey city offers the extreme experimental condition for contemporary architecture.

‫ ﻟﺪي‬.ً‫[ ﻓﻬﻢ اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻋﻤﻼً ﺧريﻳﺎ‬٤٠] ‫اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ اﻟﻘﺪرة ﻋﲆ ﺗﻘﺪﻳﻢ ﺣﻠﻮل ﻋﻤﺮاﻧﻴﺔ‬ ً‫ اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ ﻫﻰ اﻹﺧﺘﺒﺎر اﻷﻛرث ﺗﺤﺪﻳﺎ‬.‫ﻣﺪﻫﺸﺔ‬ ‫ ﺗﻘﺪم اﳌﺪﻳﻨﺔ اﻟﺮﻣﺎدﻳﺔ ﻇﺮوف‬.‫ﻟﻠﻌامرة اﳌﻌﺎﴏة‬ .‫اﻟﺘﺠﺮﺑﺔ اﻟﻘﺼﻮى ﻟﻠﻌامرة اﳌﻌﺎﴏة‬

[41] The grey city does not understand avant-garde. You may be avant-garde as you like, no one will notice it. So please no polemics. [42] Given the relative lack of other luxury, the possible quality of the buildings of the grey city is space. (even if the real passion of the inhabitants of the grey city is decoration)
