Azem Palace: The Epic of the House That Contained Damascus

قصر العظم: ملحمة البيت الذي اختصر دمشق

By Architect Imad Darouich

Eighteen short chapters walk through Azem Palace, built in Damascus in 1749 for As'ad Pasha al-Azem: its humble door, open courtyard, fountain, liwan and mashrabiyas, the nameless craftsmen and servants, its response to climate and its later life as a museum, reading the house as Damascus condensed within walls.
