Bernard Khoury and Lebanon in Floornature and Livegreenblog

SpazioFMGperl'Architettura, the gallery in Milan operated by iris ceramica and FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti, hosts the exhibition Bernard Khoury. In order of appearance, about the Lebanese architect’s theoretical research and contemporary projects, until December 2. What better opportunity to rediscover, in the pages of Floornature and Livegreenblog, the work of this important contemporary architect and other constructions and events in Lebanon covered in Floornature!
If we start by taking a look at the works of Bernard Khoury, we cannot ignore the famous B 018 (1998), an underground nightclub with a sliding roof that can be opened up to the sky. We then go on to take a look at the Central Bar-Restaurant and the enigmatic NBK residence (2) in Beirut.
Bernard Khoury may be the architect who is doing the most to transform the urban scenario in Beirut, but he’s definitely not the only one working in the Lebanese capital. In 2014 Zaha Hadid Architects completed the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI), one of the winners of the 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Livegreenblog takes us to MACAM, the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum in Alita, in the hills 35 km from Beirut, and to Common Fest, a festival of the arts and culture created to establish a link between Lebanon and the international arts scene.
