THE PORT OF LIFE

Project idea

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.

O PORTO DA VIDA

Este projeto inclui alguns temas contemporâneos importantes (cuidados de saúde, energia e questões económicas) e integra-os bem no contexto urbano de Beirute. No prólogo, queira acrescentar argumentos às suas afirmações para que o contexto do seu projeto e a escolha do local sejam bem comunicados ("o porto mais famoso de sempre" não é suficiente para comunicar a ideia a um público vasto). O túnel subterrâneo constitui uma ponte concetual interessante entre a cidade e o porto. A secção e a elevação que acompanham a linha costeira seriam muito úteis para demonstrar a organização dos movimentos no local. Isto também é importante em termos do contexto local, das ligações/desligações desejadas, das vistas panorâmicas e da explicação adicional do conceito (atrair turistas, organizar e segregar actividades, etc.).
