The Syrian civil war has caused great damage to the people’s production and life, and the Aleppo market, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years, has been almost destroyed. From the perspective of event commemoration, we will reconstruct the local production and living patterns and bring hope to local people.  From the perspective of the city, the original market axis is extended and runs through the site as a regional connection strategy, while forming three main functional centers, including exhibition and mosque functions. Around the main group, the typical production mode of the four is formed, that is, ancient soap, bread, blacksmith, embroidery, and the participation of activities bring both production and soothing hearts. 

The strategy for building activity features is to select typical local type spaces, wind towers and courtyards, and to perform spatial topologies. The overall regenerative network caters to the original urban texture, reflecting cultural and climatic , while the thermodynamic system consisting of wind towers and courtyards also has temporary refuge functions including chemical gas defense.
