The Territories of Samarcanda Manuscript. A Draft of the Crusaders Krak Knights Representation in Syria. A “Model” for Future Memory

The work presented explores the theme of the fortified “archetypal”
form of some models of the Crusaders Krak knights from examples of fortresses
of the Syrian capital. Models in which it is already configured in an urban-type
embryo morphology. From these models “stable” because it does not change in
the morphological structure of the original floor plan through a careful reconstruction
archeology analyzing the fragments and pieces unearthed from the
archaeological excavations themselves understood as “of found stone archetypes
wiping them down with a brush the reality buried under the dust of their “clear”
and the current representation”. These architectures were deposited in the sediment
symbolic of their tracks in which each form has been swallowed by the
earth and brought back to “archetype” without undergoing significant mutations
… our goal is that every model suspect must re-become a new narrative text
which the virtual reconstruction restarting the reading and storage process as a
document and memory of it.
