How to preserve old Beirut houses
Was this really the best way to preserve that old house in Sursoq street in Achrafieh ? by constructing on top of it and blocking its front view?
I would have preferred that they demolish it rather than screwing it up like that.

I’m glad they didn’t demolish it and instead did this
they shouldn’t have allowed for a tall building where there used to be gardens in the 1st place. ziad akl is the architect of that project. he’s also a member of the superior council of urbanism of beirut which approves or rejects such projects.
just to give you an idea of how things work in our retarded capital.
