    by Prof. Stefan Weber<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

    It\u2019s difficult to explain what it feels like when you\u00b4ve been walking through the old cities of Damascus and Aleppo for hours in a dry heat, heavily loaded with a camera, tripod and cadastral plans, and your eyes and legs are already tired. When you\u2019ve been looking for special architecture for months and still cannot stop for the joy of discovery. When you\u2019ve been knocking on numerous doors on the off-chance and saying the same standard line, \u201cI\u2019m a German researcher on architecture in the old city and would like to view your house. Would it be possible \u2026\u201d. Then when, after a moment of silence, the words, \u201cOne moment please,\u201d are spoken, followed by bustling activity in the courtyard. Then anticipation wells up. Then, when the door opens and you go through a dark corridor into a green inner courtyard, which suddenly opens into a small paradise. Oranges, jasmine, a fountain and, very often, wonderfully designed facades. <\/p><\/p>\n\n

    I admit that my recollection is somewhat prettified. Hundreds of times the houses were partitioned, the fountains out of commission, the courtyard garden no longer a paradise. Yet Syria surprised me time and time again with beautiful, traditional residential structures and a wonderfully decorated reception room. <\/p>\n\n

    Almost every house in\nSyria had such a room for visitors \u2013 in the houses of wealthy merchants this\nwas splendidly designed. In the mornings this was where the owner met up with\nhis business partners, while in the evenings things were more amusing here with\ndomestic music and likewise many visitors. The way the rooms were organised,\ntogether with the lighting, water sounds and the scents from the inner\ncourtyard, resulted in an incredible feast for the senses. The reception room\nand the other living quarters are grouped around an inner courtyard, typical for\npre-modern Syrian houses. From the courtyard guests entered into a square threshold\narea paved with marble. Before sitting down on low divans they took off their\nshoes. There was a fountain in the centre of the dome-covered entrance area,\nwhereas the three sitting areas extending from this fountain were laid out with\ncarpet. Light flooded in from the windows facing the courtyard, the windows in\nthe drum and the glazed portholes of the dome. <\/p><\/p>\n\n

    I was especially fascinated by the \u2018Ajami<\/em> rooms<\/a>, covered with richly painted wood panelling. The earliest dated wood panelling from Aleppo, and the most valuable in the artistic sense, is the Aleppo room, which is located in the Museum of Islamic Art. It originates from the residential building Bait al-Wakil, which was used as a hotel before the war, and was the wall panelling of the reception hall (Qa\u2019a<\/em>). <\/p><\/p>\n\n
