This research explores the Al-Juwhari family Diwan in Nablus as both an architectural space and a living archive of memory, identity, and resistance. Through architectural analysis, spatial observation, and oral history interviews, the study documents the Diwan’s role in sustaining familial and cultural continuity amid displacement. Situated within the broader context of Palestinian dispossession, the Diwan emerges as a resilient symbol of rootedness and indigeneity. Its architecture embodies Nabulsi life, while its preservation confronts the challenges of occupation, diaspora, and generational distance. The research frames the Diwan not merely as a relic of the past, but as a dynamic space capable of adaptive reuse, cultural revitalization, and community cohesion. In doing so, it argues for the significance of preserving family Diwans as both material and emotional heritage. The project contributes to broader discussions on heritage preservation in contested urban contexts and offers a model for community-driven cultural resilience.
