Article source: Ark-Kassam Architects ARK architects proposal project design “Engineers’ Syndicate” for the new architect’s organisation building in Lattakia/Syria. The design concept is based on different intersections between lines which have been stimulated from the movement of a human carrying a rock as an indication of the labour and toil being a builder, an architect.

As the structure is the giver of light it creates a character through the building to the outside space, a contrast between lights and shadows, each space is a unique entity itself yet it gives the feeling of lingering, moving from room to room would leave one space and even though entering another, there would be an enduring trace of the one you had entered a moment ago. It also works as an element of stability against any occurred earth quacks.
