rePLACE Beirut

The rituals of everyday life trace regular paths along streets and through buildings, organizing the solids and voids of the built environment into narratives and patterns of association.

Complicated by memory and social rituals, our experience of the city is of a dynamic place, a stage for public performances and private tragedies, of significant moments and the incredibly mundane. The habits, rituals, and actions of its population, the lived experiences within the city define it as something that is always current, always in constant, random movement.
