“ Architect Jean Nouvel has restarted work on The Landmark, a large mixed-use development in central Beirut, Lebanon. The project features a 42-storey tower containing a hotel and apartments a horizontal commercial and leisure block with a raised pedestrian street.”
Nouvel won the project through an international competition in 2004 but the project was later put on hold. Nouvel has now revised his designs.

Hi, can you help with sourcing some hi-res images of Nouvel’s plans for the Landmark? It’d be greatly appreciated if you could.
shows that even amidst all the political attrocities that beirut has been through the past few decades that great architecture can prevail transcending the turmoil and rising to bring a new hope and new spirit to beirut…nouvel has executed the tower with such grace that even with it’s soft undertones of neo-brutalism, the beatifully orchestrated volumetric compostions and use of almost silk like materials has elevated this architecture above and beyond an otherwise boring apt. tower…the retail portion counterbalances the tower flawlessly with an almost silent like punctuation…hope this one goes through for it will offer the city of beirut and the country of lebanon something amazing to be proud of…
