What do you think of the traditional Damascene houses\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

How did the war affect these old houses?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Why did this Syrian woman decide to do the “Humans of Damascus” project?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Translation<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Reporter: The traditional Damascene houses have their own splendor, but some of them were neglected and others were damaged by the conflict in Syria. Therefore, a young Syrian woman decided to document the architecture and identity of these houses through photography.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reporter: Over the course of several years, this young Syrian woman has photographed traditional Damascene houses to document their architecture and identity, after a number of them had been affected by long neglect and investment, and severe damage done to a number of others during the years of war.<\/span><\/p>\n

First speaker: When I saw Aleppo falling apart, I felt that this could also happen to Damascus, and I felt this to be a threat to the identity of Damascus. In two thousand and fifteen… sixteen,\u00a0 the war was the real threat. Now that the war has ended, old Damascus is threatened to lose its true character, which are Arab homes, people, and families. So, this switch is what kept me going to continue with this project, “Humans of Damascus”.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you found this topic on historical Damascene\u00a0houses interesting and that the listening comprehension practice was a good exercise.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
