Un article trouvé sur Dezeen à propos de la Mirror Tower :

486 Mina El Hosn by LAN Architecture

"The 486 MINA EL HOSN, the ‘mirror-tower’ designed by LAN, is to be built in the port area, opposite the Murr Tower, the shell-riddled building that has come to symbolise the civil war. The tower is absolutely novel in concept: the building’s skin will reflect the city surrounding it. One will be able to see it from everywhere, and everywhere one’s view will bounce off its mobile surface into the surrounding city, showing Beirut in all its myriad facets.

Maintenant que j'y pense, elle ressemble pas mal la Tour Signal de Novel.

Un article du Daily Star a propos de l'hotel Le Gray:

Luxurious boutique hotel brings flair for art to Downtown Beirut
By Dana Halawi

BEIRUT: Beirut became the first Middle Eastern capital to boast a Campbell Gray contemporary luxury hotel which, as the owner puts it, is as stylish as the city itself. [...]
Le Gray is located in the historic heart of Downtown Beirut, a 15-minute drive from Rafik Hariri International Airport, in the smart Beirut Central District. It offers cool, modern interiors, with 87 wonderfully spacious rooms and sensational suites, exciting restaurants, all accompanied by warm and highly professional service.[...]
The hotel is characterized by its collection of 500 works of contemporary abstract art, which Gray spent four years collecting from Cuba, Beirut, Damascus, Paris and London. [...]
Gray feels very optimistic about his new boutique hotel and believes that it will draw many visitors to Beirut. [...]


Le Gray is the first in a brace of hotels preparing to open in the Lebanese capital: the Four Seasons Hotel is expected to open before the end of the year; the Summerland Kempinski hotel and resort is under construction at the location of the old Summerland Hotel at a cost of $200 million; and excavation has begun at the site of the new Grand Hyatt hotel which is to open in two years.
“We’re planning to construct two more hotels by the sea in Lebanon very soon but we still want to confirm the land. We’re also keen on doing something in the mountains,” said Gray.

Nombreux sont ceux qui trouvent que la mosquee Mohammad El Amine au centre-ville est beaucoup trop grande, et qui pensent qu'elle donne une image "musulmane" de Beyrouth et du Liban. Alors pour compenser la taille des minarets, il y a un projet de construction d'un nouveaux clocher, haut de 65m, pour la cathedrale St Georges, adjascente a la mosquee.



La mosquee en question:

Grand Hyatt Beirut, qui fera 18 etages de haut:
