Without a concrete past, there can be no distinct future. And the current Lebanon, in my opinion, is a confirmation of this. Explosion in the port of Beirut. Global catastrophe. A terrible event that will remind of itself for many years to come. Remind about human negligence. About greed. About stupidity and shortsightedness. Huge damage has been done to society. Not only material, physical or emotional. But also culturally. Any territory, any site and even a small dot on the map carry the history of the place, the cultural layer, which gradually accumulated in the process of human activity. This is a historical and cultural chronotope. Chronological sequence of development of the place. But not right now. All we have is the present frozen in the moment and the past destroyed by the explosion. More precisely, fragments of it. History is no longer in space. She must not be touched. Review or capture. Just feel it in the air.

The city and the economy of all of Lebanon suffered colossal damage: the port itself, the most important part of the country's transport infrastructure, was practically destroyed, thousands of buildings were damaged or completely destroyed, at least 300 thousand people were left homeless.
The main challenge is to restore the port's competitiveness and suitability in its context for further participation in global trade markets, to create a multidisciplinary futuristic port center, with public needs (cultural, recreational, commercial, etc.), creating opportunities and promising prosperous future.

The project proposes the construction of social housing, landscaping and the construction of an embankment as the main pedestrian traffic, as well as the construction of a landmorph for the comfortable movement of pedestrians, the reconstruction of a silo and the construction of a memorial rotunda, traffic along the main points of attraction in the project area. The waters of Beirut suffered the most. As a solution to these problems, the project proposes the construction of water treatment facilities, solar panels on the roofs of buildings as an alternative source of energy, landscaping and recycling.
