Khan As'ad Pasha: When Trade Became Architecture
خان أسعد باشا: حين أصبحت التجارة عمارة
Ten chapters walk through Khan As'ad Pasha, the eighteenth-century Ottoman caravanserai built in Old Damascus under the governor As'ad Pasha al-Azm: its courtyard, domes and arches, the merchants and goods that brought the world into the city, its place in the Buzuriyah market, and the question of what a building becomes when its first purpose ends.
