SAVING BEIRUT CITY CENTER "THE EGG"

The Issue

The Beirut City Center, by Joseph Phillipe Karam, a prominent modernist Lebanese architect of the 60s, is an egg shaped theater / cinema in downtown Beirut. Its design is a symbol of modern design foresight and a testament to Lebanese talent and architecture. We, the undersigned, call on GOVERNMENT, Solidere, and any architect or investor responsible for the demolition to stop the leveling of the Beirut City Center in Downtown Beirut, and rather think about the appropriation of the existing structure.
