Re-Habitation of Aleppo
Reconstructing one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world after 9 years of wars, should be looking forward to integrate a long history of architecture that passed on this city. More than dozens of civilizations passed through this city and each had their influence. This proposal focuses on sustainable and low cost approach taking into consideration the importance of privacy in that culture. In the upper part a typical section of the old Iwan house shows the way houses were cooled and heated passively. But in order to make cities more dense, a simple stacking was made for a better use of land. A curtain device was created, acting as a wind catcher and as a wall for privacy. In summer this device is open to allow wind to enter through the water and penetrate the house.In winter this device is closed to allow heat to penetrate.
