BUILDING STRATEGIES

PROJECT 01: FUTURE VISION Site characteristics plays an important role in influencing or inspiring design ideas. This exercise manifesting our expectation, expression and perception towards the given context where we can manifest our explorations of the soul and the intangible aspects of the site via our own interpretation.

Progressing from the first project which is the future envisioned of Beirut Port and ratioanalize the intent from the conceptual expression, idea through strategic planning to understand how the port operates comparing to other ports worldwide. Interjecting of public programs such as commercial, recreations, memorials, nightlife activities are allow for the public penetration into the so-called an introverted industrialized zone.

PROJECT 03: THE RENEWAL

OF THE PORT OF BEIRUT: THE GREAT RESET Post catastrophe reconstruction invloves more than rebuilding of damaged and destroyed structures and entire towns. It is an opportunity to create new designs, integrated programs to advocate inclusivity and use improved construction techniques and materials to build stronger and sustainable structures, both physically and figuratively.

4th AUGUST 2020 EXPLOSION IN BEIRUT PORT

After the blast due to large quantity of ammonium nitrate that had been stored at the port for years, had killed more than 200 people and more than thousands of people had being injured from the blast.

Major Exportation

The explosion also had destroyed 15,000 metric tonnes of wheat as well as Lebanon’s main grain silos, which bringing in the estimated of 65 to 80% of country’s food from abroad may have to stop or have to dock at other ports, like the northen city of Tripoli. This lead to shortage of food supply and rising prices of food supply.

Lebanon’s people are heavy reliance on imports which is very dangerous for the food security. The government take for granted on this issues which thrown them into economic crisis.

During the economic crisis, many farmer cannot afford to buy imported supplies and machinery to plants their crops. This forced them to farm using the traditional methods of farming.

Traditional farming are very slow and need more labor to handle the crops. Hence, the exportation process will become verey slow and time consuming.

Because of the lacking of agriculture production, the issues lead to lack of food planning among communities. Most of the agriculture are done in small scale because cannot cope with cost and demand. Hence, imported food become the top priority for Beirut people. Every year tonnes of food supply was imported was imported into the country to be distributed among the people and people are depended on imported food for the rest of their life.

Major Import

FUTURE VISION OF BEIRUT PORT Focus Issues

NEW PROGRAMS FOR FUTURE BEIRUT PORT

Lack of exposure to modern agriculture due to economic crisis as majority of farmer forced to go back to basic to plants their crops. They cannot afford to buy high tech and modern agriculture machinery.

Lack of food planning among Beirut people as they all depended on imported food.

Lack of green areas in Beirut Port. Hence, farming in the port are not possible.

Small artists never being appreciated or recognize by the communities.

AGRICULTURE The platform indicate the hierarchy of plants which mostly can be found in Beirut.

Corn being placed at the highest platform to indicate it is the main products.

IMPORT AND EXPORT The crane and the hot air balloon shows import and export system run in Beirut port.

ARCHITECTURE Beirut consisted of many historical building which was influenced by Roman architecture such as the pointed arch, round arch and doric columns.

NEW PROGRAMS FOR FUTURE BEIRUT PORT

HYDROPONIC SYSTEM To produce more and high-quality products to the community.

CYCLING PARK People of Beirut can spread their leisure time and lead them to healthier lifestyle.

ART STREET Artists can display their artworks and crafts as well as giving them hopes to continue producing more and better artworks in the future.

HOLOGRAM STATUE PARK People all around the world can learn and enjoy the historical items virtually and in more details without damaging the real statue or artifact.

FUTURE VISION OF BEIRUT PORT

Hydroponics system become the main plantation system control by researcher to produce high quality products for exportation.

People in Beirut live in more sustainable environment where they are surrounded with trees and green technologies.

The glass dome covered teh residential area indicate that the people can live peacefully without any pollution and disaster.

MODEL COLLAGE

FUTURE VISION OF BEIRUT

Visionary Neo-Beirut Port of Beirut, The “Paris of Middle-east”, At 30° North from the equa-

tor, Home of 2.2 million Lebanese, strategically located at northern Mediterranean coast, maketh it the largest, busiest port at eastern Mediterranean.

From the prosperity of sea-port since 15th century B.C to free economic in port-way and exclusive richness in agriculture. This city has become a major capital and favourable Global-city ever since.

Subject to two main infrastructure exist early as Phoenician period.

The city remained as a regional intellectual capital, relies on port way economic and the develop towards agriculture which provide economical and political benefits. But at what cost to its inhabitants? The collage takes a fantastically approach to a critique of present port of Beirut. It intends to theoretically relocate the port culture and agricultural development by recomposing its functioning element along the city main port, re-imagine it thru few typology in phantom architecture by Philip Wilkinson to contrast with the current port system, present development in agriculture, and public space, or the lack of there in Beirut.

Here it presented a theoretical architecture with the intent of hypothetically grafting the port zone upward onto its limit. To add value artificially, reinterpreting various mechanical “courier” process of logistic, aligned with mountain like mega structure where development of agriculture take place in new way. Concurrently, creating an open space along the way, along the port, along the cove.

It’s a fantastical critique of this crazy romantic city which is Beirut itself and the innate advantage geography of it. The collage responded by visualize a fantasy reinterpretation of Port Beirut to Neo-Port Beirut, forming new park by the bay. Bringing everlasting prospers without jeopardising it’s sustainable development of Beirut and the rest of it.

B UILDING INTENTION U I L S D T I R N A G T E G I E S

To propose a research centre called AgroDome Research Centre which provide 5 different climate zone of plantation which are tropical, dry, meditteranean, polar and temperate climate for people to experiences and gain knowledge about the type of plants that can be clamatize in Beirut Port.

DESIGN CONCEPT P R I N C I P L E S

The concept is to clamatize plants that cannot be planted in Beirut and provide experiences to people so that they can feel like they in another place when entering each domes.

LINEAR PRINCIPLES: The building arranged in linear form which ease visitor access to people so that they can feel like they in another place when entering each domes.

HIEARCHY PRINCIPLES: The chambers was arranged in different height based on the plant species. For example, the highest chamber is 8m height which suitable for plants or trees that can grow more than 4.

C O 1 N C E P T D U I AA L G R A M

The model started with cylinders and hemisphere which are arranged in linear form.

3

And then, the big cylinder was cut and rotate to become another public building such as toilet, praying room and etc.

5

The small cylinder was then cut for the placement of glass panel to have a better view on the domes/ climatic chambers.

4

Lastly, close pathway was added surrounding the domes/ chambers to guide visitors to each domes.

The big cylinder split into two to provide two levels of spaces.
