THE PORT OF LIFE

Idea projektu

The port of Life project is a project that was born after the explosion that led to the great destruction of Beirut and also affected Lebanon economy. So we decide to start the moment at which its life was stopped , and we decided to bring it back to life.

We had to provide some projects that would revive Beirut's economy, as the craft center was set up, as well as a commercial center and recreational areas to attract tourists. Providing a hospital with environmental isolation areas for mental and physical caring of the injures . Applying the principles of sustainability that slow down the effects of global warming through the use of solar panels, the provision of green spaces, the use of available materials such as CONTEINER, and the use of environmentally friendly materials. As well as rebuilding and organizing the cargo reception area.

THE PORT OF LIFE

This project includes some important contemporary themes (healthcare, energy, and economical issues) and works well to integrate them into the urban context of Beirut. In the prologue, please add argumentation to your claims so that the background to your project and the choice of the site are well communicated ("the most famous port ever" is not enough to communicate the idea to a wide audience). The underground tunnel makes an interesting conceptual bridge between the city and the port. The section and elevation that follow the coastline would be very useful in demonstrating the organization of movements across the site. This is also important in terms of the local context, desired connections/disconnections, panoramic views, and further explanation of the concept (attracting tourists, organizing and segregating activities, etc.).
