B for Beirut , B for Bachoura, B for boundaries & Borders, B for Beginnings...

"The boundary is not a spatial fact with sociological consequences, but a sociological fact that forms itself spatially." (Simmel 142)

This implies that the border is a product of symbolic difference, even if it always has a spatial dimension.
working with Borders as an overall theme, i centralized my research around Beirut city and it's physical, economical, political and human borders. Trying to Bring Back the slowly gentrifying Bachoura neighborhood to the Beirut city. The mixed use project includes a residential block , a commercial block, and a community center. It is an incubator centre with Design and make as it's primary function
