“You can measure the health of a city by the vitality and energy of its streets and public open spaces.” - William H. Whyte.
In a culture where social connections are foundational, Lebanon public spaces are almost extinct and the few remaining are losing their public character and their attractiveness either by being inaccessible or by being privatized.

ASTRA, reading towards the stars!
“From a far distance, it looks like a bright star, but it is actually a galaxy of thousands of stars. It is also a testament to the universe’s continued growth, as it demonstrates its early activity. It is at the end of the universe, but it emits enormous energy, confirming its existence to us.”

The aim of the project is to revitalize the remaining public spaces, while restoring the culture of reading, and raise awareness to the importance of upcycling and recycling in Lebanon and worldwide.
