Hello, and welcome to PortBeirut! For this competition, we have developed a project that tackles the issues of hunger and lack of public spaces in the city of Beirut. That said, we hope you enjoy your stay at our port.
PortBeirut is a proposal of safety, hope and sharing. In this public space, brought up together by volunteers using the leftover materials from the explosion, the citizens of Beirut can buy food for cheaper prices from local farmers, market owners and producers. We expect that diminishing hunger and turning bad memories into new, better ones will help the people look at their city in a different way, therefore, looking at themselves in a different way. We want to inspire the possibility for change, and that is the reason why PortBeirut was developed.
Please find the presentation here PortBeirut – Google Drive.
Thank you for this lovely opportunity, we hope you enjoy our presentation just as much as we enjoyed making it.
With best regards from the PortBeirut team: Frederike, Natália and Paula.
