The project called for designing a museum for the Lebanese artist, Salua Rauda Chockair, to be located in her hometown Beirut. The program of the building included archives, exhibition spaces, library, offices, workshop spaces, and a cafe. Salua’s work ranges from paintings to sculptures, and varies in scale from small to large pieces. Her work has been inspired by her Arabic heritage.
