ArchitectureWeek Description
As the traditional heart of public, business and tourist activity prior to its extensive damage during the 1975 - 1990 Lebanon war, The Beirut Central District (BCD) constituted a prime candidate for postwar reconstruction. The area of Foch-Allenby and Etoile has become the main pole of attraction in Beirut's new city center. Yet, no publication so far has thoroughly examined its history and evolving architectural character. This book is intended to fill that gap, bringing forward the area's unique architectural features, and calling attention to the intensive efforts invested in its restoration. The study is concerned with three main aspects of Fock-Allenby and Etoile: its strategic value, its historical value , and its value as a model of an implemented planning vision.
