Underground of the Holy city

Expansion itself is not the issue, but strategies that have turned large parts of the old city into underutilized courtyards. This project proposes alternative expansion approaches that reactivate neglected spaces and compensate for the loss of Suq al-Huwish and other demolished areas, aiming to restore balance between the shrine and the historic city while preserving its cultural identity and collective memory. The project design is founded on the principle of Triangulation of Public Spaces, a design approach that emphasizes creating visual and functional connections among multiple elements.
