How Does Local Identity and Traditional Values Influence Urban Planning?
Location : Syria / Instructor : Yeongson Ko, Woonghee Cho
This Project Deals with the Civil War Caused by Urban Planning without Considering the Existing Locality and Traditional Values. The Current Topography of Syria where only Debris of War; Re-Bar and Concrete, which are difficult to Dispose of, are Recycled and Used as the Basis for Re-Construction. Starting with Individual Enclosure Units, Syria's Regional Identity and Traditional Values are Weaved and Extended by  Infinite Nodal Points to the Urban Organizations.
