Project, Stone Garden
This is a Project. It was designed by Lina Ghotmeh-Architecture and collaborator: Batimat Architects. It is dated 2020. It is a part of the department.
Beirut, Lebanon
Stone Garden is a 13-story tower imbued with hopeful futures for inhabitants of a post-war city. Conceived by a Beirut architect as an inhabited sculpture, it transforms tumultuous events into creative potential. Framing the sea, each opening is filled with verdant gardens that invite nature into the dwelling while providing natural adaption to the changing Mediterranean climate. Standing as a landmark to Beirut’s experience, the architect describes it as "living archeology" that materializes what the city has endured in built form and signals a new belonging for the construction workers who fled neighboring wars, their handwork visible in the tower’s straited façade.
It is credited Model and Façade Process Samples: Courtesy of Lina Ghotmeh—Architecture Model photos and videos: Ali Cherri, Nadim Asfar, Gregory Buchakjian, Gilbert Hage, Ieva Saudargaite, and Ghassan Salhab .
