This design respects and interprets Nordhavn's past, in which reclaimed land areas created an easily recognizable rational structure. he master plan for the new city district in the former industrial port area, including the develo pment plan, district plans, design of public spaces, streetscapes and promenades, landscaping, bicyde infrastructure and metro stations.

Popis projektu

The master plan is divided into ten points, between architectural buildings and urban spaces. They are connected by a boulevard that marks a linear route from the bay of Zaituna to the intervention of the river bordering the port. This boulevard is made up of travel spaces and seven programmatic nodes of cultural and social interest. The project has multiple architectural buildings focused on reactivating the public transit of inhabitants, with cultural and economic approaches; such as the memorial building, cruise terminal, interpretation center, hotel, shopping center and the port administration area as such. In the same way, each space is recovered with an intervention in the urban space with a landscape approach, these interventions accompany the user giving coverage of interest, these spaces are the intervention to the river, a high line that unites public spaces and cultural buildings. , a monument to the explosion of the port as a memorial, etc.

Beirut Master Plan

After analyzing the project,there are several points that must be mentioned The positives of the project: The project has been devided into separate sections.There is a diversity of functional activities (commercial,recreational,cultural,...) linking them with the Boulevard as an essential element and also the interrelationship with the river. It is good to take into account the presence of a memorial symbol for the explosion of the harbor . It is also useful to recycle the containers in the harbor. The negative points of the project: The architectural solution seemed simple and didn't take into account the nature of the coastal area,which it should reflect by studying the architectural and functional spaces,the aesthetics and harmony of the blocks . It is preferable to study the waterfront of the harbor to integrate with the surrounding environment. In the end ,I find that the study is not integrated and needs more depth.
