Our Philosophy
AL-MIMARIYA architects and designers for sustainable development is an award winning practice established in Beirut, Lebanon in 1998.
The main concern of the practice is to develop an architecture that is environmentally responsible and culturally relevant : An architecture that is inspired and responsive to it’s context .
By context we mean not just the site, climate and building materials, but the users and their way of life.
This we believe will lead to sustainable developments which is at the center of our concerns with energy deficiency the corner stone of our approach.
