The Rise_Up of the collapsed CIty

"Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is War is Architecture I am at war with my time , with history ,with all the authority that resides " I Declare war on all icons, on all

histories" LEBBEUS WOOD

"tomorrow, we begin the construction of a city"

There is always a story, and there is always an Author. War is The Author. The Author of the Rise up of the Architecture of new city that was destroyed by the tragedy of War.

Syria, a country with a History, A history that no one can deny. Aleppo one of the oldest cities in the world, The War is over. And it is the time to build the city the way it was supposed to be.

After war buildings will became ruins, ruins that witnessed wounds of thousands. So What does it look like to start over? And how the new city should look like?

"Tory that must not be denied, in their damaged states they suggest new forms of thoughts and comprehension, and suggest new conceptions of space that confirm the potential

of human to integrate itself" Lebbeus wood

And the flower should grow over the city , The original city is destroyed, we can never go back to that city, but after the war , the memories of it should not be deleted ,

The Old city is now a museum, a memorial museum to remember the tragedy of the war.

The first layer of the city after the war :bridges over the ruins, A human experience that Takes throughout time and memories , nothing is demolished , the past is there , you can see it but you

can't be there. We can always see what happen during the war by creating a GRID of bridges over the old city of Aleppo where people can see what the war cause but they cant touch it they

can feel it but can't reach it.

The second Layer is the Ruins that witnessed a huge deconstruction that has a metaphorical reading for Its History before that war, We see it but we don't know it, and sometimes we know it

but we don't see it. The Third is the new city Underground, it is the future.The future where you can't see the past .

a city that we see it but we don't know it, and sometimes we know it but we don' t see it Because of the city visual experience that takes you through the Time.
