The Spot - Jal el Dib

The Aim of this project is to create a community center in Jal el Dib, a city in Lebanon, that is very sunny. The main challenge of this project was creating an atmosphere where people could be comfortable all year long. Jal el Dib is an extremly sunny place in summer and rainy in winter, which makes the climate difficult to enjoy. I reached a solution Creating a public libing room in the city that is shaded but with the reach of natural light. This was created throught the idea of putting the public space and the gardens on the underground and creating a lot of natural sources of light from the ground floor level. This way the living atmosphere is always enjoyable as it’s shaded but also lit by natural light.

The used softwares were Autocad, Revit, Lumion and Photoshop
