Between 2004 and 2010 I ran a non-governmental project to create non-formal learning experiences for young people, based in Damascus, Syria. This blog sets out some of my thoughts about the project, Syria, being away from home in London, and other stuff.
This image shows HLT's emerging design for the discovery centre building. Taking its theme from the Damascus Rose, it creates a marvellous set of light "petals" emerging from a solid plinth base. Its materials and finishes will make extensive use of Syria's strong crafts tradition. It's beautiful and world-class.Labels: Massar
