On the 4th of August 2020, a massive explosion hit the heart of the city of Beirut. The Epicenter of this explosion was the main port surrounded by the historic center of the city. This scar left more than 300,000 people without a home, and destroyed hundreds of historical buildings. The area was also known to be an attraction to a majority of the Lebanese youth, an Art and Cultural Hub standing side to side with a Nightlife and culinary center. The area affected was part of a collective memory of generations and generations evolving organically with the passing years. It was a perfect example of how a historic area can intuitively evolve and keep up with the times without losing its features.
