The Place That Remains was in 2018 the first Lebanese Pavilion in the Venice Architecture Biennale. In the context of a dramatic degradation of the built environment in Lebanon, the commodification of the land and its homogenization by the real estate market, the actual territory loses its meaning and becomes no more than an abstract “unbuilt” space, a continuum to be built. The exhibition sets an inventory of the unbuilt territory. Identifying and securing those Places That Remain is a challenge; a challenge of reconstructing with the apparent haphazardness of the void what has not been done with the rational and the built. This Place That Still Remains is a precious resource for creating a meaningful territory and allowing its poetic appropriation. Thus accordingly, the territory is to be rendered visible, and the tangible/sensitive reality needs to be brought back to the center. The exhibition uses as format a 3D relief map, landscape photography, and video. The chosen setting is the water basin of the Beirut River as means of bringing resources back to the center of attention.
