Abstract
As one of the important ports in the Mediterranean region, Port of Beirut is a
cargo transit hub in Lebanon and even the Arab region. Every year, 6.2m tons of cargo is circulated through the port of Beirut and transported to Lebanon and surrounding areas.
But the port’s logistics system faces many challenges. The previous civil war brought many problems to the port’s logistics system. With the 2020 explosion, port mobility came across even more serious problems. So, in the context of post-explosion, how to boost the logistics system of Beirut port? In order to solve this problem, this project will start from the role of the port itself, further analyze its operation function and the surrounding environment in the city, and eventually come up with a solution at the architectural level.
