Heritage and Culture Preservation
The port explosion has hit the heart of Beirut’s historical neighborhoods and destroyed landmark heritage buildings dating back to as early as the 1850’s, most of which are occupied by tenants and families who have been residing in them for decades. The estimated funding required to restore these buildings is $286m, excluding any museums and art galleries. With no government support, architectural heritage’s fate is left to private owners and NGOs.
Our work aim to:
▪ Restore, preserve and protect heritage buildings in partnership with specialized architects, engineers and legal experts
▪ Help preserve the vernacular social and cultural identity of neighborhoods
▪ Offer legal support to owners and tenants of heritage buildings and protect the tenancy of vulnerable families
