ABSTRACT Shelteropia is located in a war-torn city in Syria. While the project is adapted to a very specific urban junction in Aleppo, the architectural research behind the project on building craft methods goes beyond the geographic coordinates of the region. Therefore, Shelteropia explores and provides a materialization system for the application of Muqarnas in freeform architectural configurations. More than being ornaments, Muqarnas is a form of vaulting system which allows for the topological and geometric transition from walls to domes. The transitions from rectilinearly to curvilinearity result in complex surface qualities and volumetric tectonics. In Digital modeling, this can be translated to means of computing multidirectional voxelized volumes or tessellated surfaces. Shelteropia is craft hub located in a war-torn city in Syria. While the project is adapted to a very specific urban junction in Aleppo, the architectural research behind the project on building craft methods goes beyond the geographic coordinates of the region. Therefore, Shelteropia explores and provides a materialization system for the application of Muqarnas in freeform architectural configurations. More than being ornaments, Muqarnas is a form of vaulting system which allows for the topological and geometric transition from walls to domes. The transitions from rectilinearly to curvilinearity result in complex surface qualities and volumetric tectonics. In Digital modeling, this can be translated to means of computing multidirectional voxelated volumes or tessellated surfaces. On the one hand, learning from various techniques of typologies of Muqarnas, and on the other hand, by exploring and developing different methods of voxelization, tessellation and folding, the Shelteropia rethink the application of Muqarnas in the post-war city of Aleppo with the purpose of redefining the role of ornament in the era of contemporary industrial revolutions.
MUQARNAS
MUQARNAS “MUQARNAS” is a form of ornamented vaulting in mostly Islamic context countires which other types of ornamentation like sculpture or human bodies painting are forbiden, sometimes called “honeycomb vaulting” or “Stalactite vaulting” The purpose of muqarnas is to create a smooth, decorative zone of transition in an otherwise bare, structural space This structure gives the ability to distinguish between the main parts of a building, and serve as a transition from the walls of a room into a domed ceiling Muqarnas architecture is featured in domes, halfdome entrances, iwans and apses

WHY Site has been selected based on the craft so-called “Muqarnas�, the data base of this craft help to find out where this craft has the most popularity and as it was an ornamental craft, we decided to see how through ornamentation which was always a way to devlop a royal architectural concept, we can pick other direction on the functionality of a building an see it as a way to develop an architecture for after crisis areas through both function and ornamentation.
