OEA

OEA is a project presented in WELD’s architecture portfolio.

Weld team in collaboration with Patrick Abou Khalil and Eugene Bitar.

The Club of the engineers seeks to create a new vital Leisure center for communicating and sharing ideas. Therefore, our proposal tries to create not an object-building but rather a meeting place; a system of negative spaces where the impressive landscape of the Safra rocks intertwine with the rich leisure activity that the center will foster. The Engineers club then is not a built but rather ‘found’ or ‘discovered’ by carving it out of the ground. This primordial architectural strategy creates a minimal impact building that fully integrates into the landscape.
