描述
Paolo Yacoub (b. Beirut, 1966) graduated from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, while Michel Lasserre (b. Auch, France, 1947) studied architecture in Paris. They have been working together since 1996 in a long-term project on the analysis and critical interpretation of Lebanese space – more specifically Beirut and the landscapes of southern Lebanon – and its transformations during and after fifteen years of war. In this book Yacoub / Lasserre focus on “the expressiveness of territories” and their aesthetical and political implications in Lebanon today. They critically summarize the effects and changes in the perception of the aspects and uses of territories, in conflict zones and elsewhere, by identifying and documenting a whole range of material and formal structures in a dynamic and polemic way.
