Multi functional cultural center in Beirut.


The core idea of the scheme hinges upon the building being a framework that behaves like a test rack, a series of slipping planes within which independent pods are inserted.

These pods extend vertically, linking different levels of the building together and promoting the exchange of ideas between the different disciplines.

Building area: 17,028 sqm
Location: Beirut, Lebanon
Client: Ministry of Culture, Republic of Lebanon
