BEIRUT TEMPORARY LANDSCAPES
DESIGN PROPOSAL
Our design proposal seeks to mitigate the profound issue of displacement that has impacted the majority of the Lebanese population, particularly in Beirut's southern District: Dahye, as a result of the Lebanese-Israeli conflict.
We propose a series of refuge landscapes, designed to provide a temporary space for these displaced individuals and families, under the umbrella of Temporal Degradable Lanscapes. Once the war concludes, these communities will require a transitional space—a "cocoon"—to facilitate their gradual reintegration and recovery, allowing them to metamorph back into their original state as more permanent structures are developed.
“How can a space metamoprh into a refuge landscape, while conserving the right to revert back to its original state”
THE PLATFORM
In a manner to ameliorate the situation, The Metabolic, Temporal Urban Platform, proposes a series of Landscape/Urban Interventions that could possibly present as post-war narratives to the Social/ Geo-spatial conundrum.
Amidst the war a vision, of what the future could hold for our people in a post-war scenario.
This figure-ground map of Beirut highlights the open spaces, shown in white. We propose examining these spaces further as potential sites for temporary interventions to support the displaced community.
