Presentation Abstract

The 2022 graduate Urban Design Studio recently conducted a two-week visit to Lebanon as part of an effort to prepare plans for a new Center of Influence in Majdal Anjar, Lebanon. The center, to be operated by the NGO Winners, aims to uplift Syrian refugees and local people through various educational programs and soccer training. Led by Professors Andrew von Maur and Zayda Steinke, the team of ten architecture students engaged Winners, the children and families it serves, and local municipal leaders through participatory design workshops. The visit was also used to document the site, understand existing conditions, and observe local architectural and development patterns. This presentation provides a visual summary of the ongoing project and its process.
