SILL AND SOUND ARCHITECTS

WWTC
TYPE:
Wastewater Treatment Plant, New Construction
LOCATION:
Beyrouth, Lebanon
STATUS:
Unrealized

 

The project site is located on the lower level of a valley, a fact that would mostly generate an upstream view/perspective on the project. The two sides of the valley also have a directview on the WWTP given the above-mentioned site geography.

Our intervention does not intend to dress or coat the technical buildings with local/traditional materials and pretend to integrate them into the existing urban environment, but to dissolve them as much as possible in the existing natural environment in order to let the valley prevail the landscape

Our intervention aims to integrate the project by:

- Ensuring the geographic continuity of the valley’s outline by reshaping the buildings

- Ensuring a natural/environmental continuity by having green roofs

- Reinventing the infrastructure as both, a natural element of the landscape and an integral part of the urban tissue.

The path reserved for the trucks, which goes across the project, may later serve as a path for the public; visiting the plant raises awareness concerning environmental issues.
