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.
