Al-hoson square – before Thinking process The square was and still is a meeting place where people gather, but the factors that led to the reduction and elimination of many events are because of cars and the weakness of accompanying services.

The changes to the place are as follows.

- Using historical elements to integrate tourists into the place more is to use the door and make it have a special sound like the rest of the city doors to alert people to the presence of tourists.

For the future To make the people in the city benefit more, he is bringing the Sunday market outside and placing it in the square, which will make the shops in the homes rented for the day and the market will expand to the rest of the city.

Museum thinking process The museum displays precious and historical. items, and the design was inspired by the simplicity of architecture and how everything has a reason behind it. the design considers the school by separating it with a green barrier, making the rest of the building. an open hall and using the water element to reflect light into the interior, and the outdoor seating overlooks nature.

- Creating a tourist corridor, distinguishing it with the floor, making the floor distinguish the buildings in terms of color, and not adding many colors.

Interventions Mixed used (new buildings) Thinking process Designing a place that fits with the history of the city and is a welcoming point that reflects the architectural elements in the original buildings in the same spirit. For example, the ground floor, which is characterized by the presence of only two doors for trade and home, was reversed by making the windows in the modern area in the shape of the doors and their sizes to preserve the existing spirit, and the design of the floors in the buildings was reversed and some were changed to suit. With the desired function being architecture that meets people's needs.
