COMING BACK TO LIFE IS AN ARCHITECTURE MOVIE, A CINEMATIC NARRATIVE LOADED WITH EMOTIONAL CONTENT AND DRAMATIC SCENERIES.

IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE NEW UNDERSTANDINGS OF WHAT IS AN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT. IT IS A SIMPLE IDEA REPRESENTED THROUGH A STORYLINE, A PLOT AND A TWIST, BASICALLY A MODERN DAY FAIRY TALE.

THE MOVIE REVOLVES AROUND AN ARCHITECT’S OBSESSION WITH BURJ EL MURR, THE TOWER OF BITTERNESS, A SOARING MONUMENT AND AN OLD LEGACY OF WAR, IN THE HEART OF BEIRUT.

THE FIRST SCENE PORTRAYS OUR MYSTERY MAN ENTERING HIS GLOOMY APARTMENT FACING HIS ARCHITECTURAL FASCINATION, TO BE SURPRISED BY AN EMERGING STRUCTURE SUSPENDED ON THE WALLS OF THE TOWER. SUDDENLY THE DISBELIEF IS INTERRUPTED BY A NOISE THAT APPEARS TO COME OUT OF THE TV, AND THE FRAME BLACKOUTS OUT WHEN IT GETS CLOSER TO THE WINDOW. DIRECTLY WE ARE TRANSPORTED INSIDE AN OPENING OF THE BURJ EL MURR, TO ASCEND THE BODY OF THE CONCRETE BRUTE, PASSING THROUGH THE VOID, THE GREEN SPACE, THE MEMORIAL AND THE RECEPTION AREA. WE ARE THEN DRIVEN OUTSIDE, TO DISCOVER A MONUMENT, ELEVATED FROM THE GROUND. OUR ARCHITECT’S CAR ARRIVES TO THE SCENE WHILE THE STRUCTURE IS COMPLETING ITS GROWTH. FINALLY THE STORY ENDS ON A SHOT OF THE TOWER IN ITS NEW SKIN, STANDING TALL IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE DISTURBING CHAOS OF THE CAPITAL.

Sunday morning, summer breeze, sunny day. We are heading to the mountains.

The Old and the new. An extension is planed to be built near an existing house in the mountains. It was really interesting to show the visual connection between the two architecture, that shares a garden area in the middle.

A new City will rise in the desert. The project is the Center point, formed by a multi functional canopy that sits around a green space at the middle.

Stairway is an Elevated Memorial formed with different scale of metallic boxes, pierced by ramps that goes all the way up to the top.
At the bottom is the light source that comes from the underground; shaped by a long tunnel that ends with a circular ramp covered with citizens portraits.
The light breaks the void in the middle with its streaks creating an act of ascension.
