An ode to Modernist concrete. Rachid Karami International Fair, Tripoli, Lebanon

This collection of modernist architectural forms was the result of an international collaboration between famed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and Lebanese engineers. The architecture is a blend of Brazilian Modernism and Lebanese styles.

Or, that was the plan. Sadly, this ambitious site remains a sad futuristic ruin frozen in time.
