This manifesto presents a transformative exploration of historical timelines and urban spaces within the city center. Focusing on four chosen hubs within Beirut’s city center, we embark on an in-depth analysis of past events, examining the factors and agents that shaped these spaces into their current abandoned and unused states. By delving into the rich tapestry of history, we aim to unravel the complex interplay of social, political, and economic forces that led to their demise. Drawing insights from this analysis, we boldly imagine a new reality for these neglected hubs and establish a new narrative for their future. Through visionary proposals and collective action, we seek to reclaim these spaces, breathing life into their forgotten walls and reinventing them as vibrant, inclusive, and thriving urban centers. This manifesto stands as a call to action, urging society to engage in the collective envisioning and reshaping of our urban landscape, crafting a future where neglected spaces are reborn and the city center becomes a testament to the resilience and creativity of its people.
Questo manifesto presenta un’esplorazione trasformativa delle linee temporali storiche e degli spazi urbani all’interno del centro città. Concentrandoci su quattro hub scelti all’interno del centro di Beirut, intraprendiamo un’analisi approfondita degli eventi passati, esaminando i fattori e gli agenti che hanno plasmato questi spazi nel loro attuale stato abbandonato e inutilizzato. Scavando nel ricco arazzo della storia, miriamo a svelare la complessa interazione di forze sociali, politiche ed economiche che hanno portato alla loro scomparsa. Traendo spunti da questa analisi, immaginiamo con coraggio una nuova realtà per questi hub trascurati e stabiliamo una nuova narrativa per il loro futuro. Attraverso proposte visionarie e azioni collettive, cerchiamo di rivendicare questi spazi, dando vita alle loro mura dimenticate e reinventandoli come centri urbani vibranti, inclusivi e fiorenti. Questo manifesto rappresenta un invito all’azione, esortando la società a impegnarsi nella visione collettiva e nel rimodellamento del nostro paesaggio urbano, creando un futuro in cui gli spazi trascurati rinascono e il centro città diventa una testimonianza della resilienza e della creatività della sua gente.

Abstract
This manifesto presents a transformative exploration of historical timelines and urban spaces within the city center. Focusing on four chosen hubs within Beirut’s city center, we embark on an in-depth analysis of past events, examining the factors and agents that shaped these spaces into their current abandoned and unused states. By delving into the rich tapestry of history, we aim to unravel the complex interplay of social, political, and economic forces that led to their demise. Drawing insights from this analysis, we boldly imagine a new reality for these neglected hubs and establish a new narrative for their future. Through visionary proposals and collective action, we seek to reclaim these spaces, breathing life into their forgotten walls and reinventing them as vibrant, inclusive, and thriving urban centers. This manifesto stands as a call to action, urging society to engage in the collective envisioning and reshaping of our urban landscape, crafting a future where neglected spaces are reborn and the city center becomes a testament to the resilience and creativity of its people.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
