Due to the brutality of the recent conflict, Aleppo, an emblematic crossing point in the milennar commercial routes, became a battlefield. Partially destroyed, the city, once a reference for peaceful inter-religious co-habitation in the Middle East, is now deprived from the majority of public services and infrastructures.

Thinking in the physical reconstruction as a fundamental element to the economic recovery and the re-establishment of lasting urban peace, a solution of continuity is propounded; acting directly on one of the main epicenters of the conflict - the edges between the city and the forgotten suburbia.
Traditional crafts and knowledge are suggested in this work as an exclusive tool against a violent globalized market where handmade crafts do not seem to fit anymore; as well they serve to connect groups of people together through this common heritage.
