The Politics Of Traditional Contemporary Buildings, Marwan Ghandour

Marwan Ghandour

This paper surveys contemporary Buildings in Lebanon that incorporate traditional Elements, as a way to deconstruct possible meanings of this dominant practice in contemporary Lebanese Architecture. I will start by discussing what is meant by tradition in relationship to building activity in Lebanon and what issues do these buildings engage. Then I will move to discuss the production of the Traditional in architectural practice. I will conclude by looking at "traditional" Contemporary buildings as thlngs around which social relations are problematized.
