The BLF Headquarters offers a city turned into architecture. Much like Mies van der Rohe’s Chicago Federal Center or the HSBC Tower in Hong Kong, with ground floor areas dedicated to public use, and the Rockefeller Center in New York where the core of the central plaza of the complex offers a range of cultural activities to the public - all these social amenities are made possible through architectural design. By juxtaposing and combining the situations enabling its structure, the BLF Headquarters create opportunities for truly amazing public spaces. These spaces generate their own flows without interfering with private circulations and spaces. They bestow a particular status and temporality upon this tower rising at the gateway to Beirut.
