Abstract

The reconstruction of Beirut’s city centre after the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) represents a case of the application of neoliberal planning practice on historic urban contexts. The results of this operation have been widely criticised with the once thriving urban core today largely rejected by the city’s inhabitants. This chapter investigates the affective dimension of Beirut’s urban space to understand how design decisions related to the restoration have affected the inhabitants’ emotional response. This study describes some specific characteristics of both the wartime destruction and the post-war reconstruction, observing how they have impacted the lived space of the Lebanese capital’s historic centre.

From Solidere’s website: “The restoration of Beirut city centre’s historic fabric was a real success confirming the sustainability of traditional districts and heritage buildings and their great potential for creating value, once adapted to the needs of contemporary life and business. [The buildings] were faithfully restored in accordance with a set of rules and restoration guidelines established by the Company. International experience in urban and architectural conservation was adapted to local materials and know-how […]. Buildings were rejuvenated through the use of skylight atriums, roof gardens or glazed roofs. The interiors were fitted to comply with modern requirements for functionality, flexibility, comfort and efficiency.” https://solidere.com/city-center/solidere-developments/real-estate/solidere-restored-buildings, accessed 09/07/2019.

In the dramatic events of 2020, the building site of the Zaha Hadid-designed department store was ravaged by fire before completion.
