Syrian artist transforms Damascus architecture into digital fashion
This article discusses the project by Syrian artist Nadine Ghannoum, which combines ancient Damascene architectural heritage with the world of digital fashion. Ghannoum drew inspiration from historic landmarks of Damascus, such as Beit Al-Aqad, Khan Asaad Pasha, the Nur Hospital (al-Bimaristan al-Nuri), and Beit Al-Ajami. She used architectural elements like carved ceilings, stone walls, corbels, and traditional furniture to transform them into digital fashion designs. Her focus was on conveying the volume, texture, and handcrafted materials, such as brocade and wood inlaid with mother-of-pearl, to ensure an authentic sense of heritage. She also regarded materials and craftsmanship as a means to enhance the authenticity of the designs, emphasizing solid architectural details like stone and corbels, and acknowledging the challenge of translating these into movable garments, especially with complex three-dimensional elements. Ultimately, Ghannoum aims for those wearing these fashions to feel like living parts of Damascene heritage, honoring artisans and preserving the city's traditional identity.
