<span style="font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2019 witnessed an international
resurgence in popular movements seeking new approaches for the world. People
gathered together for marches in more than 100 countries as part of the Global
Week for Future, weekly climate strikes took place in Fridays for Future, and
popular uprisings swept Beirut, Baghdad, Hong Kong, Barcelona, and Santiago. Though
distinct, they share a common commitment to collectively rethinking attitudes
towards the environment, whether climate, socio-political or economic orders.
Expressing a clear message of urgency to change the world, they also articulate
a shared fear for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 28.05pt; margin-top: 15.35pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Unlike earlier generations, these
movements are connected, informed and creative – they know that time is running
out. One of their shared actions is the closing of roads, whether through sheer
number of people gathered together or with the use of other devices such as
overturned burning bins or water canisters. Both practical and symbolic, these
gestures stop the ordinary day-to-day flow of life in the city. By blocking
movement, they create spaces for conversation and togetherness. Though these
actions are disruptive in the short term, they are intended to draw attention
to the more significant long term shifts and changes that will take place if
our attitudes do not evolve. They provide a stark and powerful warning: without
adjustment, life as we know it will not continue.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 9pt;">Made of clay, the work recreates a
scene of disorder, stopping unconscious movement through our ordinary, unaware
day-to-day lives. By re-appropriating and overturning common and unremarkable </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">artifacts</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> such as bins, the work causes a re-assessment of the daily structures
we take for granted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12px;">A natural material, clay is both an old resilient material still discovered during archaeological excavations, telling us the story of time, yet an ephemeral and fragile one as well – it can break into pieces and return to earth. By bringing together these two distinctive qualities of clay, the work depicts is both a historic and precarious moment in the story of humanity.</span><br />

when protesters took to the streets of Beirut in September 2015 and overturned
the garbage bins. The “Sukleen” canisters that represent the object we have designed
to hold our waste, when turned over their side, or top down, they become a sign
of protest, a symbol of the unresolved garbage crisis that still lingers on since
2015 in Lebanon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the bins are no longer used to collect our trash, our waste becomes visible,
revealed, and we are face to face with the quantity of garbage we produce
daily. We got used to throwing our waste into a bin. Not asking what happens to
it afterwards. As if the bin was its final destination. As if it was there that
it all ended. By not dealing with our waste on a daily and individual basis, we
are disconnected from it. We do not realize the amounts produced. And when it
has no place to go, it starts to accumulate in front of our eyes.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">Beyond
the protest, the crises revealed a bigger problem, triggered a new awareness: It
made the trash visible. To eliminate it, fire was often used. The “Visible”
canisters are burnt using a similar process: </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">waste materials such as rusted steel dust,
wood ash, wood saw dust and shredded paper<span style="color: #222222;"> become
the combustibles for firing the clay canisters. “Visible” is the reminder that
the waste crisis can only be solved once we truly see the problem.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #363135; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Many old houses in Beirut are threatened by demolition. Oftentimes owners are financially incapable of restoring them, and developers are eager to clear them out to make room for money-generating, soulless buildings. However, even in their neglected state, the importance of these houses as testaments to Beirut’s urban history remains apparent.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #363135; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In Ras-Beirut, old houses are mostly abandoned urban ruins. Some are scattered, dwarfed between new high-rise buildings; others still survive in clusters. Some are on main roads, others hidden at the heart of a street block. However, all are “invisible” to the passer-by, abandoned due to their derelict state. They seem to be “turned off”. In most cases nature has taken over with overgrown trees and uninvited spontaneous plants growing out of walls and balconies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #363135; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In mid-2016, I began making watercolor sketches of these abandoned houses. These sketches were done obsessively and daily and were shared on social media with three recurring, original hashtags: #beirutyellowhouses #beiruturbanruins and #saveitonpaper<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #363135; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The process is first the act of “seeing” these houses; discovering them among the surrounding high buildings that overshadow them. Second, singling out each house as a distinct entity by erasing its actual urban surrounding; stressing the spectral presence of those old buildings as remainder and reminder of the old urban fabric of Beirut. It is an attempt to imagine a city that no longer exists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #363135; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The objective is to raise awareness and "save” these houses on paper. It is to engrave their memory in my mind and in our collective memory. To enforce their presence and highlight their character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #363135; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sketching these houses is a form of meditation where concentration is total and attention is directed fully towards one subject. This is a state where, for a fleeting moment, the subject and the sketcher are one.</span><span style="font-family: helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="AR-SA" style="color: #454545; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">هناك عدد كبير من البيوت القديمة في بيروت مرشحة للزوال. في معظم الأوقات أصحاب تلك البيوت يعجزون عن الحفاظ عليها والتجار يتوقون إلى تنحية تلك المباني كي يقيموا العمارات التجارية الشاهقة. برغم ذلك، تبقى تلك المباني شاهدا على تاريخ المدينة المعماري.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="direction: rtl; text-align: right; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span lang="AR-SA" style="color: #454545; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">معظم المباني القديمة في رأس بيروت هي آثار مهملة . بعضها موزع، متوار بين المباني الشاهقة، و بعضها الآخر لا يزال قائما في تجمعات. بعضها موزع على طرق عامة و سواه متوار داخل الأحياء. على كل، كل تلك البيوت متوارية عن أنظار العابرين، و مهملة لأنها لم تعدصالحة للسكن. كأنما قد هجرتها الحياة، فحلت مكانها الأشجار البرية.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="direction: rtl; text-align: right; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span lang="AR-SA" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">في العام ٢٠١٦ بدأت أرسم تلك البيوت المهملة. العملية التي أقوم بها تبدأ بتحديد تلك البيوت من بين المباني الطاغية بحجمها. ثانيا أستفرد هذه البيوت عن سواها من المباني المحيطة بها. و هذه محاولة لتخيل مدينة زائلة.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="direction: rtl; text-align: right; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span lang="AR-SA" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">أما الغاية فهي لفت الإنتباه إلى ما يحدث من تحولات و حفظ هذه البيوت على الورق، حفرها في ذاكرتي و الذاكرة الجماعية لتثبيت وجودها و الإضاءة على خصوصياتها.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span dir="RTL" lang="AR-SA" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">إن رسم تلك البيوت هو نوع من التأمل و الإنتباه مركز على حالة واحدة. إنها حالة حيث، للحظات، تلتقي المادة بمن يقوم بتسجيلها</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Process: For the past 4 years I have been experimenting with marble pottery, mixing two types of clay to produce a single piece. The combination often creates surprises in the way the two clays come together when dry and after the first firing: merging or separating. I have also been exploring different firing techniques. Fire being at the root of alchemy, the milk firing technique used on this piece is intended to bring out the veins of the clay, magically transforming it into wood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The design deviates from the traditional corporate office by emphasizing openness yet allowing for confidentiality where needed. Within a semi-open-plan layout, and while providing the required closed offices, small sound proof “pods” travel within the space, accommodating additional closed spaces for meeting, brain storming, shouting or meditating. These “pods” can be shared by different staff members depending on their needs. Double glazed glass walls enhance the openness of the office while providing the levels of privacy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The new Tanmia office accommodates the needs for both privacy and interaction, promoting efficiency in terms of the use of space while boosting staff productivity as well as their sense of community. Reminding the users as well as the visitors of its most important values, etched on the walls and glass partitions, it also brings us closer to nature by providing greenery in many forms.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">After a long experience on large scale projects in office practice, I started my own office with a focus on ecological design. The aim is to be able to develop an architectural language that responds to the local needs and regional characteristics while using a contemporary vocabulary.<br />Many of the projects I worked on are low budget private projects and rural development projects for NGOs and local Municipalities.<br />In 2002 our entry to a closed competition organized by Solidere won the first prize, for the design of a new residential project in Wadi Abu Jmil, in the Down Town area. </span><br />
