La maison Shihab Chalabi a été inaugurée le 12 novembre 2012 à l’occasion de la clôture des travaux de restauration menés depuis octobre 2011, en présence de son excellence Monsieur Denys Gauer, Ambassadeur de France en Irak, de Monsieur Nawzad Hadi, Gouverneur de la région d’Erbil-Kurdistan irakien, de Monsieur Bruno Lafont, Directeur général du Groupe Lafarge, de Monsieur Dara Al-Yacubi, Directeur de la Haute Commission pour la Revitalisation de la Citadelle d’Erbil (HCECR) et de Monsieur François Burgat, Directeur de l’Ifpo.
La maison Chalabi a été mise à disposition de l’Ifpo en octobre 2010, dans le cadre d’un partenariat franco-irakien avec la HCECR et l’Ifpo. De très importants travaux de restauration, soutenus financièrement par le Groupe Lafarge, ont été conduits par l’architecte Mahmoud Bendakir avec l’appui d’Emmanuelle Devaux, architecte Ifpo.
Les locaux de l’Ifpo en Irak abriteront très prochainement une médiathèque scientifique, des salles de lecture et de réunion ainsi que des bureaux pour accueillir des chercheurs venant d’Irak, de France ou du reste du monde.

3. PROJECT BACKGROUND
According the partnership agreement for the development of cultural,
scientific, and technical cooperation initiated by the Government of the
French Republic and the Government of the Republic of Iraq, the project
for the rehabilitation of Shihab Chalabi house was proposed and initiated
by the local government of Kurdistan and the French Ministry of foreign
affairs in order to accommodate the Ifpo center in Iraq. Within this general
framework, a contract of partnership was signed on October 2010 between
the company Lafarge, Ifpo (French Institute of the Near East) and the HCECR
(High Commission for Erbil Citadel Revitalization), in the presence of the
Embassy of France, the Governorate of Erbil and officials of Lafarge company.
On October 2011, inside Shihab Chalabi house, His Excellency Denis Gauer,
Ambassador of France in Iraq and Mr. Dara Yakubi, director of the HCECR,
proceeded to the signature of the lease granting the use of this historical
building to house the Ifpo center. Following on that, Mr. Francois Burgat,
director of the Ifpo and Mr. Attila Pars, Chief Financial Officer of Lafarge
Company have proceeded to the signature of the funding partnership of
the restoration and reuse of the Shihab Chalabi house.

4. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
In close collaboration between Ifpo, HCECR and UNESCO and with the
financial support of Lafarge group, the objectives of the conservation
and rehabilitation of Shihab Chalabi house are as following:
1. Complete the documentation of the Shihab Chalabi house;
2. Prepare the condition assessment study and elaborate a complete
mapping of different pathologies affecting this valuable monument;
3. Propose a set of technical study and re-use design;
4. Use Chalabi house as a pilot project to develop training workshop
“Chantier-Ecole” to reinforce local capacities and skills in the field of
heritage conservation;
4. Implement the rehabilitation works in accordance with international
standards and respecting the UNESCO recommendations for preserving
the Erbil citadel site;
5. The re-use of the buildings to house the Ifpo Institute in order to
develop scientific researches, and to implement cultural cooperation
actions in the archaeology and social sciences fields.
November 2012, Dr. Mahmoud Bendakir, MB Conservation 4
5. INTERVENTION PRINCIPLES
All the conservation techniques proposed for Shihab
Chalabi respect the following criteria:
• Less intervention on the original part of the building with
focus only to treat different pathologies and to reduce
the risk of future degradation;
• Use of similar materials and techniques as original;
• No extent on conjecture in terms of interpretation;
• Soft intervention to guarantee the protection of the
strict concept of authenticity and integrity;
• Develop training, practices and skills;
• Experiment materials and techniques before applying
on a large scale.
November 2012, Dr. Mahmoud Bendakir, MB Conservation 5
6. RE-USE PROJECT
KEY CONCEPTS
1- Honor History (restoration, rehabilitation, UNESCO compliance)
• Minimal intervention
• Preserve main components (facade walls, portico, courtyard)
• Maintain historical characteristics
• Restore look and feel (consistent materials and details)
2- Improve Functionality (center operations, visitor and students
experience)
• Clear circulation (new interior connections, unique access)
• Grouped program elements (clear organization)
• New services (toilets, researcher accommodations, confort, security)
3- Simplicity of Intervention
• Subtle distinctions between existing and restored architectural
features
• Use of similar materials and techniques
• Minimize visual prominence of modern equipment (mechanical/
electrical system)

Steps of intervention for wall treatment : External walls
Step 1: Removal of debris and spoil heaps at the base of the wall
To allow the wall to breath and to evaporate the excessive humidity, incompatible materials, cement plaster and spoil heaps have
been removed. After a period of more than 6 months, the brick joins were repointed using a lime and sand mortar.

Removal of existing gypsum plaster affected and eroded by humidity and particularly the basement walls which are more
exposed to rising damp. Before aplaying a new plaster, the brick masonry was exposed for a long time to allow the wall to
breath and to evaporate the excessive humidity.

INSTRUCTION FOR TERMITE TREATMENT
Steps of intervention for termite treatment:
• Brush and remove dust to allow a better penetration of the products on the wood
• Inspect the portions that are highly infested and determine the degree of the
attacks
• Inject under pressure the wood treatments for large-section beams
• Spray the anti-termite product on the surface of the wood structure until saturation.

4. STONEWORK: TREATMENT OF GYPSUM STONE MASONRY
Objective
There are several major reasons for cleaning the historic stone masonry of the portico:
1. Treat the structural and humid pathologies to improve the resistance of the fragile gypsum stone
masonry;
2. Improve the appearance of the gypsum stone masonry by removing non-compatible materials like
painting, gypsum plaster, white cement mortar, cement joins and other intrusive materials;
2. Provide a clean surface treated to resist to rainfall water infiltration;
3. Replacing eroded pieces, repointing and refilling gaps and missed parts of the stone masonry.

4. STONEWORK: TREATMENT OF GYPSUM STONE MASONRY
Cleaning techniques
Stone masonry cleaning methods generally are divided into 4 major groups: water, chemical, abrasive
and laser cleaning.
- Water methods soften the dirt or soiling material and rinse the deposits from the masonry surface.
- Abrasive methods include blasting with grit, and the use of grinders and sanding discs, all of which
mechanically remove the dirt, soiling material or paint (and, usually, some of the masonry surface).
Abrasive cleaning is also often followed with a water rinse.
