On the Wonderspace podcast this week we welcome Marwa al-Sabouni. Marwa is an award-winning architect and author who has chosen to remain with her family in war torn Homs in Syria.  Her 2016 book 'The Battle For Home' gained her invitations to speak around the world and led to a TED talk where Marwa suggests that Syria's architecture was one of the key causes of war by dividing its once tolerant and multicultural society into single identity enclaves defined by class and religion. In her latest book 'Building For Hope' Marwa explores how cities and buildings might be rebuilt in the aftermath of conflict, crisis or financial depression.
