The photographer Matthieu Salvaing and the merchant and gallery owner Guillaume Excoffier offer this beautiful book with an informative panoramic view of the heritage and heritage of the Lebanese architecture.
This beautiful opera of 320 pages, published by Éditions Norma, later carried to the laboratory of modern architecture in the Middle East. Beirut Modernist puts in light the Lebanese creative force, from the '50s to Oggi. Matthieu Salvaing and Guillaume Excoffier are both a man and woman. He is primarily a photographer-viaggiatore, specialized in architecture and design. He is also a trader, gallery owner and decorator. Entrambi corrono la storia dell'architettura moderna in Libano da una prospettiva sociale, economica and artistica. If this is still the case, it is possible to operate and restore the “sparse acceleration of the operation and the building of this crucial period”. Like the emblematic International Festival Rachid Karami of Tripoli, included in the 2023 UNESCO World Heritage List. È dunque a presa di coscienza che civita anche Beirut Modernist, to save the building constructed “at the time of the Ottoman tutela or during the period of the French mandate”.

I designed, inspired by the quality of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, with a magnificent volume and materiality, verticality and orizzontalità, geometric patterns and modular spacing. My rivelano is also a straordinary known bio of nature and architecture, with rich colors.
