Abstract
Achrafieh! A word that can be pictured in scenes, a center-point for all tourists visiting this beloved country, a monument of national history, a home for more than 20% of the Lebanese population. Simply said, Achrafieh, is the ‘Heart of Lebanon’. The word Achrafieh is originated from the Arabic language and means ‘a high point that overlooks the lands below it’. It is said that the name was assigned to this city due to the nature of its geological formation, as it includes the high plateau located to the east of Beirut, which oversees the city alongside the seashore. Achrafieh is one of the oldest districts in Beirut. It is both a residential and a commercial area, characterized by its narrow tree-lined streets, the luxurious office buildings, and spacious apartment complexes. This prime area is home to contemporary projects and spaces, as well as a number of historical Western and Oriental architecture.
