| Summary: | In this paper, I will discuss the results of the international competition that was organized in the spring of 1994, to redesign the souks of Beirut. This competition, which attracted more than 300 entries from around the world, was a unique event in the history of the reconstruction of Beirut, as it was the only open competition to be held for the reconstruction of a major urban space in this city after the war. I have chosen a selection of projects to discuss in this paper, highlighting the various approaches that architects take when faced with a problem of this scope. |
