Rural Aleppo, Syria | 2023 Partnership: IWlab Located in a historic earthen dome village in northern Syria, Um Myal was largely abandoned during the Syrian revolution. This project aims to revive the village through a multi-disciplinary approach that balances heritage preservation with sustainable socio-economic development. Early efforts included providing basic services and stabilizing adobe structures to encourage residents' return. The project focused on restoring traditional dome and roofing systems and fostering close collaboration with the local community. Um Myal project is aiming to reconnect building traditions with daily life.
