The Restoration and Conservation Center for Historic Monuments and Sites at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Architecture (FFAA) of the Lebanese University has conducted an architectural and documentary study on “the construction of the Mahmoudia mill” near the Abu Ali River in Tripoli.
The documentation work began with a study of the functional model of mills in general, followed by a thesis written by the center’s student, architect Tarek Obeid, under the supervision of Dr. Moheb Chanesaz, entitled:
“The water mills of the Abu Ali River” – Vital installations in the traditional urban fabric / Reuse or reconstruction and rehabilitation? – The Mahmoudia mill as a model.”
The study was carried out in four complementary stages in order to produce a scientific and methodological synthesis, as follows:
– Definition of the scientific dimensions of the architectural approach in the development of an intervention model for a tradition
