Intensive Beyrouth : Youssef Tohme

«En tant qu'architecte, je comprends
Beyrouth comme une situation
d'ouverture et d'aptitude vitale
au changement. Le Liban
ne peut se rattacher à une vision
entière ni globale. C'est aussi
sa force. Ses mille visages
constituent une condition présente
difficile et passionnante. Il semble
que de nouvelles histoires peuvent
se produire grâce au multiple.»

"As an architect, I understand Beirut
as an open situation, possessing
a vital aptitude for change. Lebanon
cannot become attached to a total
or an all-encompassing vision.
That too is part of its strength.
Its thousand faces are a difficult
and enthralling condition
of being present. It seems as though
new histories can emerge from
its multiplicity."
