Popis projektu

TODAY, MOST OF BEIRUT'S PORT RELIES IN RUINS,
REBUILDING THE PORT IS A RACE AGAINST THE
TIME
IT IS NOT JUST THE BUILDINGS, EVERYBODY
THINKS THAT THEIR SOULS HAVE BEEN SEVERELY
INJURED
THEREFORE, WE NEED SOMETHING TO
REGENERATE THE LIFE, PASSION, AND HOPE
WE NEED....... RE-BIRTH
THE PORT SHOULD BE THE BIRTHPLACE OF
FUTURIST BEIRUT
