Nesta tese investigamos a situação pós-guerra na cidade velha de Alepo para uma futura intervenção e aplicação da sustentabilidade respeitando a arquitectura tradicional do mundo Árabe. A pesquisa aponta-nos para as hipóteses de, recriar uma transformação do património urbano e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos habitantes da cidade, aplicando estratégias de sustentabilidade, mobilidade e qualidade de vida, isto, respeitando a religião local, a tradição e a volumetria urbana existente. A destruição provocada pela guerra e o conflito que se arrasta há anos pela Síria, talvez nos dê a nós arquitectos, uma oportunidade para ilustrar de maneira convincente soluções reais para a intervenção e resolução de situações problemáticas da população e da sociedade depois de um longo conflito permanente. O objectivo do projecto é propor um único equipamento que se integre suavemente no ambiente. Oferecendo modernidade, seguindo os princípios de sustentabilidade e baseando-se em valores tradicionais, vernaculares e culturais. A pesquisa foi dividida em três partes. A primeira parte teve como objectivo construir os fundamentos teóricos que representam os conceitos, reconstrução pós-desastre e a posição de sustentabilidade na arquitectura. A segunda parte foi dedicada à cidade velha de Alepo descrevendo propriedades geográficas, históricas e culturais, evolução do tecido urbano, arquitectura local e materiais. Além disso, contém a pré-introdução do tema do projecto final, representando o problema actual da educação e o ramo de equipamento escolhido. Por fim, a terceira parte foi dedicada à proposta final de projecto, analisada na escala do território e na escala do edifício.
ABSTRACT: This thesis is advocated to investigate post-war situation in Aleppo old town with potential of application of sustainability respecting traditional architecture in the Arab World. This research points us towards the hypotheses of re-creating an urban heritage transformation and improving the quality of life for the inhabitants of the city with an indication of sustainability, mobility and quality of life respecting local religion, tradition and existing urban volumetry. The war destruction and the conflict that has dragged on for years in Syria, perhaps gave us architects, an opportunity to illustrate in a convincing way a realistic solutions in the intervention of solving the problematic situation of the people and it is society after a long-standing conflict. The goal of the project is to propose an equipment unit which would smoothly integrate into the environment. Offering modernity which follows sustainability principles and based on traditional, vernacular and cultural values. The research was divided into three parts. The first part aimed to build the theoretical background representing post-disaster reconstruction and position of sustainability in architecture. The second part was dedicated to represent Aleppo old town describing geographical properties, history and culture, urban fabric evolution, local architecture and materials. In addition this part contains the pre-introduction of final project theme by representing current problem of education and chosen branch of equipment. The third part was dedicated to the final project proposal, analysed at the scale of the territory and the scale of the building.
