Mediterranean Housing Lebanon

Description

LebanonPostcard presents the book: Mediterranean Housing Lebanon by Carles Broto – Links and Librairie Stephan. Hardcover book with protection, 30.5×25.5 cm, 242 pages.

Residential architecture as a discipline is heavily influenced by culture: both by the architect and by the country where it is located. This dazzling collection of homes by Lebanese architects is richly informed by both historical and modern Lebanon, taking into account all factors of life in that country, from the climate and the vernacular architecture to the troubled past and Beirut’s explosion as a fashionable, modern city. Featuring both urban and rural residences, and even works by trailblazing Lebanese architects in other countries, this book provides an unforgettable glimpse into the traditions, aspirations and influences of Lebanese innovators in the fields of architecture and design.

Introduction

In recent years Lebanese architects have been stepping boldly into recognition and appreciation, both at home and on the international scene. Leaders and trendsetters, these are blazing a trail in contemporary Lebanese architecture, looking for new interpretations, fresh viewpoints, and innovation. The results of their efforts are hugely diverse.

In projects demonstrating an assured degree of technical know-how as well as artistic vision. Projects contain extensive information on materials and construction processes to complement the design ideas. As nobody is in a better position to comment on these projects than the architects themselves, their own comments have been included.

Ranging from modern, urban luxury to creative but respectful renovations of traditional Lebanese houses, these homes represent the forefront of the emerging talents of Lebanon’s architects and designers. This is a selection of fine, innovative architecture that will serve as an inspiration for years to come.
