POLYPHONIC MORPHOLOGY. Unseen Acts – The City as Reflection

Abstract What if we imagined a mirror that reflects the city’s reality to itself? What if the city’s components identified themselves and defined meaning in their own reflections? This article aims to explore the critical dimensions of the contemporary reality of a place from multiple and unexpected points of view. It explains the theoretical framework of a project which is being conducted as part of wider research that focuses on the informal behaviors and interventions in the urban morphology that is made by the inhabitants of the urban cluster around Damascus.
