| description | The increasing political and economic instability in the Middle East region has caused an emergency condition that directly affects the architectural heritage of cities, so much to speak, in some cases such as Aleppo, of urbicide, or deliberate destruction of the city of man. This raises again some reflections on the role of the discipline of architecture in the process of reconstruction, that is, on what are the limits, the criteria, and the instruments able to operate critically in these contexts. The current state of the city of Aleppo thus offers the opportunity for an investigation aimed at establishing an admissible framework of operational strategies to preserve the identity of places, conveying the elements that have characterized the urban phenomenon over time. |
