In a country constantly subjected to changes and destruction, the number of abandoned spaces in Lebanon is increasing, and with it the risk of losing memory and history. Drawing on four places that were once abandoned but have now been preserved and restored, located in Beirut in the heart of the capital and the “action”, the aim is to show how restoration can have a positive impact and how their history has truly been conserved. This theme draws our attention to the way in which they have been reused to improve the neighbourhoods and communities in which they are located, serving as catalysts for creativity. These spaces become cultural centres, places where people can come together, connect, see the city in a new light and above all keep memory and history alive.
