Data końca rejestracji: 21/05/2022

Termin składania prac: 12/06/2022

Miasto: Beirut

Kraj: Liban

The competition is to propose the International train station for Beirut

Beirut and Lebanon in the XXI century do not have neither Trains, nor metro/Tube. Yet historically trains were operational from the late IXX century till the early seventies. They reappeared for a short period in the early nineties over shorter lines, and that was it. The allocated spaces for the railways and the stations are there. For the past 30 years there was never any official or serious plan to re-install trains in Lebanon.

That’s why Dar[e] is proposing this train station, more so it is an International train station. We want to dream, and we want to dream big. We want to be connected to the world.

This station will include the following:

2 international trains platform terminal with a length of 250m

And 4 local train platforms with a length of 150m (not a terminal, but trains going in opposite directions)

Besides these two requirements all the program is left to the participants to propose and implement.

The proposal should fit within the various terms of Green, sustainable, low energy, zero energy or nearly zero energy buildings, bio-climatic Project. Depending on the source, these definitions will take at least one of the following four points into account:

The Embedded energy of the construction materials
The Energy consumed within the construction phase
The Overall lifespan energy consumption or (running energy consumption)
End of life or the energy needed for demolition, decommissioning or recycling

This competition is looking for projects that will provide two points:

maximum users’ comfort, in this case travelers, while using minimum energy and natural resources.
Choosing materials that have low embedded carbon
