Exhibition Space
Jounieh Rising
Jounieh Rising blends with the Historic Jounieh Souk in a unique manner. It is an extension of the landscape upwards connecting the ground to the roof. This creates one large homogeneous landscape that wraps around the residential block. The roof invites the people to observe and contrast the historic souk on the west side and the newer buildings on the east side as they go higher. At the end of their journey, they conclude at an observatory point that leads them to reflect on their experience. The commercial center is located on two levels with multiple entrances from the ground and roof. Its two levels meet at a central open space that invites people passing by absorbing its surroundings. Located above, the exhibition center with access from the ground floor and from the roof contains a mold of the traditional pitched roof. The west side of the project holds the residential and office spaces that are more private .
