Project: Rethink the future port of Beirut in your culture
Program: Commercial
Style: Contemporary vernacular
Academic year: 7th
Year: 2022
This project was a competition, students from all over the world were invited to rethink the future port of Beirut that will be rebuilt and invested under F.D.B.O.T. The Beirut Lines envisions a bold elevated public hub, connecting four urban axes of the city and bridging across the existing urban fabric from the northern coastline towards the Green Line – an intervention designed to create a new urban culture, inspiring wider regeneration and synthesis on an urban and social level. For many years, the Beirut port represented more of a barrier than a connection between the city’s communities and its coast. The reconstruction of the port area opens up the opportunity for a pivotal civic gesture that will both catalyze the area and fill the void of active public spaces in the city. the port will also entertain visitors with cultural restaurants.
