Palimpsest- 2nd Edition: Industrial Heritage
This workshop explores how a city can be “read” through a palimpsest-like, multi-layered lens considering its history, structure, human presence, objects, and spaces. It investigates how these dimensions interact to generate change and shape spatial-temporal relationships.
Students will develop projects that interpret a selected site through design—understood as the practice of shaping ideas and visualizing thought. The process begins with two starting points: the Letter and the Object, which act as catalysts for creating spatial - temporal narratives grounded in human experience.
A central focus of the workshop is the exchange and circulation of ideas. Elements of Arab culture: including calligraphy, metaphor, language, history, and architectural symbols will be woven into the creative process.
