Back Home Shards of memories Syria International competition ‘Syria: Post-War Housing‘ 2016 3rd place Project imagine a post war scenario it works with the idea to retrace shape of urban’s lot, that were destroyed from war, in order to conserve city’s identity and its morphology. New buildings are assembled parlty with ruins, partly with new materials and they play the role of traditional syrian house organized around a courtyard. The idea is to realize two different type of courts: the shape of the urban lot is sorrounded with small and private courts, this system composes a single larger public courtyard; which can accommodate different functions such as public or historical buildings, public gardens, mosques or attraction poles. A wider urban network connects all these public spaces resulting in a new city’s identity and idea. Every building has a ground floor with commercial and public spaces in order to have a direct relationship with the courtyard; housing is developed on the higher floors. Single residential units are flexible houses with 25 mq of immediate living rooms and 20 to 50 mq of potential a dynamical space, that allows the owner to change the unit configuration in relation with own needs.
