Year 2022, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 157 - 170, 25.11.2022

Abstract

The years of conflict in Syria has affected the cultural heritage severely and threatened social and symbolic values. This paper illustrates firstly the real condition of the city of Aleppo, through presenting some cases of high cultural value buildings damaged by the conflict, even some were totally collapsed, which represent an important bond of Aleppo citizens similar to the idea of “Istanza Psicologica” theorized by Roberto Pane. Secondly, the research aims to analyze the criteria of “second-day” intervention (conservation, restoration, enhancement and eventual reconstruction) on this damaged heritage, by investigating the cultural significant values of these buildings damaged or completely destroyed. Finally, the paper concludes with a few suggestions about the optimum intervention of different case studies represents the values mentioned before. To sum up, the research aims to involve the international debate about conservation and restoration with a critical situation of cultural heritage in crisis.

الحفاظ أم إعادة الإعمار بعد الصراع: تحليل معايير وقيم التراث الثقافي السوري

Year 2022, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 157 - 170, 25.11.2022

Abstract

أثرت سنوات الصراع في سوريا على التراث الثقافي بشدة وهددت القيم الاجتماعية والرمزية. هذا البحث يوضح أولا وضع مدينة حلب الحالي، من خلال عرض بعض الحالات ذات القيمة الثقافية العالية لمبان تضررت من الصراع ، وبعضها انهار تماما، والتي تمثل رابطا هاما لمواطني حلب مماثلة لفكرة "Istanza Psicologica" في نظرية روبرتو بانة Roberto Pane. يهدف البحث ثانيا إلى تحليل معايير التدخل في "اليوم التالي" (الحفظ ، الترميم ، التعزيز واعادة الإعمار في نهاية المطاف) في هذا التراث المتضرر من خلال البحث عن القيم الثقافية الهامة لهذه المباني المتضررة او المدمرة. وأخيرا ، فإن البحث يخلص إلى بعض الاقتراحات حول التدخل الأمثل في
حالات مختلفة تمثل القيم أنفة الذكر. والحاصل أن البحث يهدف إلى إشراك النقاش الدولي حول الحفظ والترميم في حالة حرجة للتراث الثقافي في الأزمات.
