This Project Was a Mistake: Tactical Errors in a Protocol for Aleppo’s Reconstruction

This project is a protocol for the reconstruction of Aleppo, Syria. We aim to investigate the impact machine intelligence has on the relationship between the architect, the designed output, and the people who will use it. The politically charged nature of the site allows us to marry an understanding of “participatory” and “autonomous” design with necessary considerations for preservation, memory, and local culture. We believe this context allows us to explore a fundamental characteristic of architecture in the era of machine intelligence: our relationship, as designers, to error.
