Urban Goal

The company Urban Goal created in 2017 by Badih Moukarzel and co. is here to give its customers the rule of three. We are four investors who asked a Indian company to design our urban goal website. We were asking 3 years ago. Prices were high so the business deal never came to an agreement. We worked on our website. We want to proceed by going through the actual system that never saw that Skull Nation member never asked for a dream through the system but past and way past the system seamlessly if we are talking about a constitution and its construction. If the constitution is clever we are not considering clevers ones and if she is not clever we are considering clevers ones. That is the mission of Urban Goal. In our company, Urban is otherwise used to describe activities in a city and country frame. Activities which were represented by professions not typically actions/urbanization so urban actions not profession actions. Not adjective like sectors like architecture, literature, urban details like walls or streets. Have a say on one of our owners, Paul on the social medias platform, first appealing plan of our company: Urban Goal.

Best Regards,

Guy Moukarzel

Education strategy is a major tool to apply politics

I have chosen to study at university at this time to be able to apply my new knowledge which I have acquired lately in photography after my stay in Italy studying Design.

Photography interested me through out my studies from fine arts ti Architecture most specifically when I have to find a relationship between my artistic skills which are applied and my way to deal with my surroundings.

Many concepts have been used to get represented through photographs or many concepts have been made to be photographed.

Dealing/playing with both sides of representation is the secret from which you shall remember to respect your imaginative aspects of creation.

Creationism is divided in two different views.

By choosing to focus on Photography, my specific GOAL shall give you the opportunity to raise your dynamic status by listen carefully to the spectacle. Sight views are prohibited.

First Christian architecture

Romanesque Architecture, Its context, Architectural elements: What characterizes the romanesque? An example of Romanesque: Saint Martin, c 1050. In addition to the use of Arches and Blind Arches. Use of Barrel and Groin Vaulting. The rest of the uses will be posted in images not in person, for example St Philibert de Tornus, 950-c 1120.

The Basilica

Origins

•  Roman Public Building in the center of a Roman city

Architectural Description

  • •  Big hall for legal and commercial affairs
  • •  Interior colonnade that divides the space into a a nave and aisles
  • •  Apse where the cathedra is located (seat of the magistrate)
  • •  The central Nave usually larger than the aisles
  • •  Includes high windows

Why the Basilica?

•  In the fourth century Christianity is recognized as an official religion of the roman empire under Constantine the Great

– Christians go from hidden to public spaces –With imperial financing, they can start to think of building public spaces

– But why not choose the already established form of a Pagan Temple?

  • •  Association between the Temple form and paganism: the use of the basilica publicly affirms a difference
  • •  The architectural formula of the temple is not adapted to Christian rituals
  • •  A pre-existing model is needed (known plans, feasible, having proven its worth)

Transformation into a place of Christian Worship

•  In the Apse, instead of the Magistrate a Priest

•  The basilical plan can accommodate a large number of individuals

•  Easily lit because of the high windows

Byzantine Architecture, The beginning of a divergence between Roman and Byzantine architecture under the reign of Justinian the Great, The Dome as an example could be the most reliable sign.

Beirut Battles and its History

For Bernard Khoury, Beirut’s relationship with its heritage is a false one, marked by Orientalist romanticism and a fascination with war. The Lebanese architect talks about the gaps in the city’s memory, gaps which the weakness of the State and the omnipotence of private interests do nothing to fill.

This article was featured in L’ Architecture d’Aujourd’hui in November 2011, written by Marie-Douce Albert.

Centre-ville de Beirut
The Place de l’Etoile area. “A painstaking rehabilitation, an impressive work.”
Apparently, Bernard Khoury is not the kind of man to hide his opinions behind a veil of politeness. When asked about the relationship between his country and its heritage, his response is far from optimistic. Of course, major world famous sites like Baalbek and Byblos are, he admits, “well conserved”. But, he continues, “it’s best not to look too closely at what lies beyond them. This country’s landscape has been disfigured. Not by the war. No, the damage caused by anarchic real estate development is a good deal worse. The problem is the State, which has been entirely absent. Did you know that there is no part of the country that can’t be built on?” In a few well-chosen phrases the architect paints the portrait of a totally bankrupt government. “Nothing of what’s still in the hands of the State actually works. For example, we don’t always have electricity around the clock. Everything that’s been done so far has been done by private companies.” After years of war, the reconstruction effort in Beirut and Lebanon as a whole has been characterized by a distinct lack of regulation. And consequently, particularly insofar as architectural heritage is concerned, there is an absence of any vision that goes beyond economic interes
Saifi village. ‘A clumsy rendition of simplistic view of history”

In reality, at least, “because on paper, conservation mechanisms do exist.For example, the Apsad (the Association for the Protection of Sites and Ancient Dwellings) established a list of a thousand or so buildings of historical interest in Beirut and then attempted to classify them. The list was shortened to around 250 untouchable sites. But even some of those were demolished” Khoury says, with a tinge of regret.

In the last few years there has been a good deal of criticism of the behaviour of the real estate investment firm, Solidere [Lebanese Company for Development and Reconstruction], of which the former prime minister, Rafik Hariri was a major shareholder. Hariri was accused of “bulldozing 85% of the Arabic- Ottoman heritage [1].” On this point, Bernard Khoury takes a less categorical view, recognizing not only the work done on archaeological excavations but also on the rehabilitation of a number of important buildings. Indeed, could anything more bedemanded of a private company when the country as a whole “is incapable of writing its own history”? And the architect continues: “It’s very sad now that in school books history stops in 1975, the official date of the beginning of the civil war. But in terms of conserving heritage, it actually stops before then, with the end of the French mandate. The only slightly syrupy consensus that we have recognizes heritage from ancient times up until 1943.”

As an immediate consequence, Beirut has a false relationship with its past, characterized by a “superficially Arabocentric” kind of nostalgia, Khoury adds, adding that the city has not escaped “the architectural failures that, since 1970, have disfigured so many places around the world with their somewhat unhealthy preoccupation with the past. We’ve produced a kind of architecture that claimed to be ‘Lebanese’ but that was reinterpreted in a totally romantic way. We focused on reproduction by building badly designed copies full of errors of syntax and vocabulary.” According to the architect, the dominant “mashrabiya” style is a travesty. “It’s all the more perverse,” he says, “in that in reality we are perpetuating the Orientalist fantasies developed in the West…” Just as worryingly, Beirut obscures an important swathe of its history. “The Republican period, from 1943 to the 1970s, witnessed the emergence of a kind of modern architecture,” Khoury says, adding that, “great things were done here. People, including my father [2], erected numerous institutional buildings like universities for the State. Today, these buildings are falling apart. Cultural degradation can be read on their façades. With a number of friends we have set up an association, the aim of which is, on the one hand, to recuperate the archives of these Modernist architects, and, on the other, to promote their work and attempt to preserve what they achieved.”

Interdesign building. “The exhibition building of Khalil Khouri. A different kind of modernity.”

Beirut thus has a selective memory. It likes to pick and choose from what its history offers. One part of that history, the civil war, has a certain fantasmatic quality to it. Although the capital is no longer strewn with ruins, those that do remain “exercise a certain fascination”, says Khoury, who criticizes the touristic vision that sometimes reduces the city to a kind of theme park of violence. So he asks the question again: who is to decide which traces should be conserved and what should be effaced? And what is this balancing act that architects are obliged to indulge in? “In this context, they can either hide away in their academic ivory towers or face up to the problems and fight back,” he says, before concluding: “I don’t work for the private sector and if my answers aren’t consensual or ‘moral’ at least, I hope, they are relevant.”
