Author(s): Garine Boghossian
In the aftermath of the Lebanese Civil War, a private company Solidere took on the mission to reconstruct the center of Beirut, the capital city. An enormous real-estate privatization process transformed the once historic city center to a shiny upscale district. The paper investigates the different public spaces within it and reveals the design politics behind them.
