dc.description.abstract The Civil war was born in 1975. The country boiled into religious conflict you had lying there, an outlandish structure – sunny side up in the middle of Downtown Beirut. It resembles a broken egg, as Lebanese people point at it and call it “El Baydah”. It was never finished and never rebuilt – Designed by the prominent Lebanese architect; Joseph Phillipe Karam. Originally was supposed to function as a Theatre (The dome) and a shopping mall with underground parking. My design methodology is to show it is possible to design more vibrant urban spaces through design strategies that preserve and blur traditional distance between architecture and landscape.
