Project summary
A group of Syrian refugees have received training in building a prototype mudbrick house in the Bekaa valley, Lebanon. This provides the refugees with a heritage skill that can be easily transferred to the job market and potentially a way to reconstruct their houses if they return to Syria.
The main architect from the project has also published a book about this type of architecture in order to record it for future generations.
