The plot designated for the Trust building sat at the intersection of two main roads in Latakia city in an important governmental and administrative area close to the seaside. The second place in the competition was awarded to Syrian Architect Mustafa AlSheikh.<em><strong><sup>01<\/sup><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AlSheikh believed that architecture was about \u201corganizing space rather than merely filling it\u201d, a principle reflected in this design. Instead of following the borders of the site, his proposal featured two symmetrical, streamlined wings. The ground floor of his building stood as a transparent mass perforated by structural columns, receding from the heavy slab of the first floor that visually cuts it off from the rest of the building. The final two floors of the building also recede from the body of the building, and they were painted with a different color to further distinguish them from other floors, as they housed the Association Headquarters. Offices on all floors were positioned on the western and eastern facades, with the service core in the center. the main western and eastern facades were clad with hollow blocks. The unique roof of the building was made up of folded geometrical shapes and had the benefit of being lightweight and efficient at draining rainwater and providing shade.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong><sup>02<\/sup><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-33306bd elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"33306bd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46e1c71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46e1c71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em><strong><sup>01\u00a0 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u0646\u0648\u0641\u0644 \u0643\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0648\u064a\u060c &#8220;\u0631\u062f \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0631\u0633\u0627\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u064a\u0644 \u0645\u0635\u0637\u0641\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0641\u062a\u0648\u062d\u0629\u060c&#8221; \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u0646\u062f\u0633 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u060c \u062a\u0645\u0648\u0632 1970\u00a0 [Nawfal Kisrawi, \u201cAn Answer to the Colleague Mustafa AlSheikh\u2019s Open Letter,\u201d The Arab Engineer, July 1970.]<\/span><\/p><p><em><strong><sup>02\u00a0 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em>\u0645\u0635\u0637\u0641\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e\u060c &#8220;\u0631\u0633\u0627\u0644\u0629 \u0645\u0641\u062a\u0648\u062d\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u064a\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u0646\u062f\u0633 \u0646\u0648\u0641\u0644 \u0643\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0648\u064a\u060c&#8221; \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u0646\u062f\u0633 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u060c \u0623\u064a\u0627\u0631 1970\u00a0 [Mustafa AlSheikh, \u201cAn Open Letter to the Colleague Nawfal Kisrawi,\u201d The Arab Engineer, May 1970.]<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong><sup>03 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em>\u0643\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0648\u064a\u060c &#8220;\u0631\u062f \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0631\u0633\u0627\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u064a\u0644 \u0645\u0635\u0637\u0641\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0641\u062a\u0648\u062d\u0629.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kisrawi<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Answer to the Colleague Mustafa AlSheikh\u2019s Open Letter.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-816fdde elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"816fdde\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-38987bf\" data-id=\"38987bf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bde6040 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bde6040\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jury recognized the proposal&#8217;s success in achieving efficient interior arrangement and circulation, as well as providing a flexible solution in the receding floors designated for the Association Headquarters.
