Lebanese Architect Proposes Memorial Park For Beirut One Year After Devastating Port Blast
A Lebanese architect has designed a memorial park for the city of Beirut one year one from the devastating port blast.
On August 4th 2020, the city was left shattered when improperly stored ammonium nitrate exploded at Beirut‘s port.
Carlos Moubarak envisions a memorial park dedicated to both the victims and the survivors and seeks to restore Beirut's historical connection to the shore with this conceptual design.
The proposed masterplan occupies the port site around the blast scene.
The layout is organized on two connected outdoor levels, each of which provides contrasting visitor experiences.
While the upper plateau offers an outlook on the port activities and panoramic views of the sea and the city skyline the lower plateau integrates the park’s more serene and introspective spaces.
The destroyed eastern part of the dock, once the epicentre of the explosion, hosts the centrepiece of the memorial park: the remembrance ring.
Radiating out from the blast’s epicentre, the remembrance ring is a circular object that symbolises unity.
With an outer diameter of 120 meters, the black concrete monument hovers above the exact location of the massive crater left by the explosion.
Contrasting spatial sequences lead to the ring’s central space dedicated to the victims.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, issued a stark warning to Israel during a rally in Beirut on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion of Ashura, which commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), Nasrallah vowed extensive retaliation should Israel launch a ground invasion into Lebanon. Addressing a crowd in Beirut, Nasrallah emphasised Hezbollah's readiness to respond decisively to any Israeli aggression. "If your tanks come to Lebanon and south Lebanon, you will not have a shortage of tanks, as you will no longer have any tanks left," he stated, underscoring Hezbollah's preparedness for conflict.

The explosion, which did not trigger air raid alarms, occurred hours after the Israeli military confirmed it had killed a senior commander of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.

Tens of thousands of Israeli settlers in the northern occupied territories have sought refuge in shelters following a series of missile attacks by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah. Israeli media reported on Thursday that approximately 60,000 panic-stricken settlers rushed to shelters after Hezbollah struck Meron, Nahariya, and other settlements. This response came in retaliation for recent Israeli air raids on southern Lebanon that resulted in the tragic deaths of three Syrian children. Hezbollah launched a total of 80 rockets targeting Israeli settlements. The attacks prompted warning sirens to be activated overnight in Nahariya and communities across the Western Galilee, areas located in the northern Israeli-occupied territories and southern Lebanon.
