Warché


why does it always feel like living on a construction field?
So instead of waking up everyday to the beautiful sound of birds,
(if we still have a few birds that live in our country)
these days i'm waking up to the noise of construction sites.
everywhere I go, old buildings are being replaced by huge towers,
which i hate, losing our old beautiful houses and heritage,
and weeks ago i witnessed the demolition of a very big tree next to our home,
no more trees, no more birds and no more old buildings.
I really hope we stop this before it's too late and Beirut becomes a place we don't even recognize.

  2. I was thinking about this yesterday when i saw an old building eventually getting destructed..
    Some of the old pillars and that engravings on the stones were still visible.. I just thought of taking a pic to save what remained..

    I loved the poster too! constructions over my head!! sometimes it sounds like "knocking" but most of the time has an intense terrible sound with decibel out of limits!

  6. I agree with all of your comments..nothing nice about waking up to a construction zone,,and at 6 am everyday at that! How can this continue? What happens when there is no where left to build?
