Reminiscense and permanence

Project idea

From fragmentation to a highly interconnected space The old closed and inaccessible port is completely opened to become public and habitable, creating a system of interconnection between the port itself and the proposal, with the existing city, as a way to get closer to the sea and to bring the city into the port. Urban elements are used to create new hierarchies, points of tension, new accesses and new connections within the complex. Thus creating a system of relationships that is composed of parts, which work simultaneously, and together, form a whole.

Project description

It focuses above all on a direct connection between the port and the city, by means of an element that acts as a bellows: a large linear park. This park is equipped with infrastructure to fulfill and provide the city with the public, cultural and recreational spaces it needs, in addition to generating a more pleasant relationship with its context. With the existence of this large green and rethought space, the city advances on the old port and a new urbanization of greater value is given, generating profitability to the project and to the lifestyle of the inhabitants of Beirut.
