PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE

Idea projektu

The objective of the project is to gain a comprehensive vision of the whole that favors the articulation between spaces and generates communication of the port with the city. The idea is to commemorate what happened and give identity to the port through symbolic areas. Therefore we seek to requalify the port by creating areas for specific urban activities such as cultural, recreational, museums, commercial, residential and hotel. As well as readapt the logistic and administration part of the private port. With this system we manage to reintegrate the port to the city and generate economic and social benefits to configure a prosperous port. We are looking for a new avant-garde urban profile by oxygenating the landscape with green spaces and maintaining harmony with the natural elements generating permeability between the port and the city weakening existing urban barriers that doesn’t allow accessibility.

Popis projektu

Beirut has a great history, a past of wars and different events that shaped and transformed the way of city growth. A devastating present, the result of the explosion of its port on August 4, 2020 and, since much of it was totally destroyed, a future with new projection possibilities. Our proposal has as its starting point the timeline: taking that past to generate a new system that restructures and gives life to both the port sector and other nearby areas of the city. Understanding the present only as the physical damage left by the explosion, but how it affected the people who live there. projecting to future to rebuild and improve what Beirut was.

Technické informace

We propose three axes of action for our project: 1) Revaluation: A sistem of green areas through the whole port serving as conector between different points of attraction. 2) Connectivity: An internal transportation that connects nodes in the port and extends throughout the urban area to ensure more accessibility city/port. 3) Two ports: We propose a plan for new land uses wick are sustainable over time. The east part of the port will continue to operate with five new operating areas. We add link for the project book: https://issuu.com/guidozarlenga/docs/g_11_-_libro_final_comprimido

PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE

Total reshaping of harbour's coastline is both good and bad. I guess that this is expencive to such amount of earthwork and concrete pouring just for an idea without real outcome. But the conceptual idea of focusing on the remnants of the silos is good for me. But in my opinion it is too much focus there and really vast unarticulated surfaces around it - like a huge concrete (or whatever material it is) frying pan. I think scale is too big for humans there, but maybe this was made for the impession - in this case it will do the job well. At a first glance project seemed to me not as good as it is - and this you need to think about for your next designs. It was not so catchy - the "round" idea should be more emphisized in terms of space and shape. If you want to entirely redo the surroundings of the silo you must do it as much as you can and probably bo not touch surroundings that much. However the entire proposal for all the areas is realistic and can be taken into account. I can suggest here do more work on the territory around the silo - if you consider it as a focal point of the concept. It shoul be solid and eye-catching, unusual and this is the real place for an achitectural statement.
