Drawing on the author’s personal experience of living and working
as an architect in Syria, this book offers an eyewitness
perspective on the country’s bitter conflict through the lens of
architecture, showing how the built environment offers a mirror to
the community that inhabits it. From Syria’s tolerant past, with
churches and mosques built alongside one another in Old Homs and
members of different religions living harmoniously together, the
book chronicles the recent breakdown of social cohesion in Syria’s
cities, with the lack of shared public spaces intensifying
divisions within the community and corrupt officials interfering in
town planning for their own gain, actions symptomatic of wider
abuses of power. With first-hand accounts of mortar attacks and
stories of refugees struggling to find a home, this compelling and
original book explores the personal impact of the conflict and
offers hope for how architecture can play a role in rebuilding a
sense of identity within a damaged society.
