Graduation Project

The city of Shahba, which was once called Little Rome, and the home of the Roman Emperor Philip the Arab, is one of the most important archaeological sites around the world, and in Syria in particular.

In previous years, the city lost its archaeological value and was neglected for several reasons, so it was necessary to direct attention to the region and reconsider its current situation in order to develop it and restore its archaeological and historical value.

Current Site plan

The block and void plan and the elevation plan show the high density of buildings in the center, which causes separation between the archaeological sites and cuts off the visual and kinetic axes between them.

Proposed Site plan

After the intervention, we notice the formation of the visual and kinetic axes between the archaeological sites and the achievement of linking between them

Archaeological sites

The proposed square (the forum) forms a link between the archaeological sites

The proposed hotel and its direct connection with the Forum in particular and the archaeological sites in general

Connecting the buildings with a network of pedestrian walkways and diverting vehicular traffic from penetrating the site

HOTEL GROUNDFLOOR PLAN

The hotel was designed in a way that combines the historical style of Roman architecture from the decorative columns, the inner courtyard and the gate that defines the entrance and is located on an optical and kinetic axis with the Forum Gate and the modern style in building from modern building materials and the use of glass facades to take advantage of the full view of the city.
