Abstract:
When we organized the studio beginning of 2007 we were motivated by our fascination for Hamra’s vigor and diversity, coupled with fear that this might be eroded by looming real estate speculation. Hence, the Studio is premised in the intrinsic potential of the place “Ras Beirut” to progress and develop while being true to its “Genius Location” and the cosmopolitan energy that earned Hamra world fame in the 1970s.
