Designed by Lina Ghotmeh during her previous partnership DGT and currently led by our workshop LG-A, Stone Garden project is currently being completed in Beirut. With its façade entirely labored by the hands of craftsmen, this building emerges in the city like a sculpture of earth plowed by the memory of this ancestral city.

Top prize went to the London Design Museum. EMYA jury chair and European Museum Forum board member José Gameiro noted how the ERM preserves and interprets memories in a way that makes the museum an inclusive and creative learning environment for all. "The ERM is engaged in a complex and controversial history, and sees its main task of collecting and preserving memories in order to create a new way of having a cultural dialogue which links the past with the future," Gameiro explained. "The ERM has given the concept of a national museum a new meaning through a dialogue-based, multi-voiced and participatory approach to cultural history"

Everything created in the respect of the parisian elegance tradition.

Lina Ghotmeh interviewed by Connaissance des Arts Magazine.
"Beirut is a mixture of ruins of war, it is also a Beirut that evolves and transform with the repetition of the same apartments, with towers emerging in the city. On the other hand, these little houses that represent history. This building, for me, is a little materialization of all these stories in a single stele». Lina Ghotmeh
