| dc.description | This paper discusses the work and approach of the undergraduate Vertical Studio: Ecologies of Leisure, that was given Spring 2019 at the Department of Architecture and Design at the American University of Beirut. The studio was co-taught with Nicolas Fayad (Senior Lecturer). |
| dc.description.abstract | The research detailed in this paper revolves around an ecological and spatial exploration for a derelict coastal area in Lebanon. It frames the possibility for an agile ecological approach to design, one that builds upon the latent derelict aspects and persisting disconnections in this specific area and that reimagines a potential new reality intermeshing the natural with the human and the infrastructural with the architectural. Within the format of a research undergraduate studio, the approach and work discussed here present possible synthetic scenarios for coastal developments in Lebanon, and suggest alternative production, programmatic, and ecological strategies. |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The research on Zouk and its beach resorts was supported by the American University of Beirut’s University Research Board (URB) – under the 2018 grant “Beach Mega-complexes as Peri-urban Constructs of Living and Leisure.” |
