If you have been to Beirut, you know that while walking through the city, the architectural mess can be shocking. Beirut does not really have an urban plan or logic. 18th and 19th century houses stand next to brand new buildings-the results of Beirut’s never-ending reconstruction. It’s important to know that Beirut was completely destroyed and rebuilt seven times throughout history. No one can ever come across them without getting melancholic. They are indeed part of our heritage. They are part of our identity and our roots. They give us a better understanding of our legacy. As an artist it’s very crucial that we keep a trace. And our heritage should be cherished preciously. If not, at least through our art.
