Finally, the Archis website is online. A long lasting project (worked on it almost for 6 months now), still ongoing cause a lot of features will be released in the course of time. Like ‘Dossiers’ which will elaborated on topics addressed in the Volume issues, and will be an growing body of references, further reading, websites etc. Besides this, also other websites and functionalities will be released (stay tuned :) The Archis site is designed in such a way that it can grow and expand with in various ways with additions like satellite websites, blogs, etc. because it’s built on the WordPress MU platform In close collaboration with Resource Studio (they did the design and programming/scripting) I worked on the website. Where my main focus was the editorial, organizing the content, and giving feedback on the design. Cause the site is extremely content based, a close collaboration was necessary, and payed off if you asked me.So check it out, the new Archis.org

Any plans for the summer? I’ll be going to Beirut this summer and will be working on this event, check it out…
A case study on the concept of public space in Lebanon
Initiated by Studio Beirut, Archis, Partizan Publik, Pearl and the University of Amsterdam - Center for Conflict Studies. An international multidisciplinary team of international and local students and professionals from the fields of architecture, urban development, design, sociology and political science, shall identify, analyze formally and socially, and propose interventions and new programs for the nearly infinite number of derelict or marginal spaces in Beirut. These terrains vagues, at many scales, from kilometers to centimeters, present a potential for territorial reassessment and cultural redefinition that will constitute a body of both research and action.
On the 1st of September on the Pearls in Lebanon event, results will be presented and debated. During Pearls in Lebanon a mixed audience will be brought together for discussion. The platform also gives the opportunity for project presentations of Studio Beirut and its projects to possible Lebanese cooperating partners and investors.
