Reparametrize Studio’s Recoding Post-War Syria exhibited its research at Designing Peace, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, which represents a more contextual and iterative approach in which habitable spaces are built into the shells of bombed-out buildings, integrating local construction practices and incorporating endless rubble as its starting point. The process involves open-source 3D scanning and modeling of existing buildings—wartime “as-builts”— that in turn fold historic documentation into the process of rebuilding. If successful, this approach could have global applications through organizing and raising awareness of the incremental, decentralized, anonymous local labor that enables survival in the world’s many new ruins……..
