Overview

Built-in 1930 as the first cement factory in Syria It witnessed the typical transformation of Damascus’ agricultural lands as it was the means to its current urban (paradigm shift).

Context Study

The distance to the site from the city center of Umayyad Square is about 6.2km, which takes 19 minutes to drive.

Located on natural fabric on the threshold of the urban fabric

Surrounded by terrain that makes it look like a monument.

A Place For Agriculture Production.

Why?

1) Exploiting the site economically with a proposal that serves all groups

2) Get benefit from the surrounding natural environment

Existing Site Analysis

3) Enliven the site over the course of time

4) Low environmental awareness

Site Conditions Study

Adabtive Reuse Process:

subtructed geometry

setting the entry at the main axis which defined by the chimeny as a landmark

determining the gathering spatial optically by adding an enclosure mass

proposed functions

Forming The Inserted Element:

designing the inserted element in a distinctive way and integrated with the composition by ensuring the retaining of authentic character(preserving history)

dictating the dimensions of the inserted element by those of the existing

segregate the private space from the public one

Rural evolution

Safita Residential Cluster Design

Semester 2 -2021

Partner: Reem Alkhallouf

an almost flat land the terrain played the role to determine its shape

The assembly concept is to inclose the social activities within the composition

the models distribution and their ratio
