Beirut Design Week 2018

Jeanne d'Arc Street Public Interventions

Neighborhood Initiative in collaboration with the Beirut Design Week

Beirut Design week and the AUB Neighborhood Initiative are collaborating this year in partnership with the Municipality of Beirut to launch a series of interventions activating Jeanne D'Arc Street that was rehabilitated as a model street for the city of Beirut. In a joint effort between the Beirut Municipality, the AUB Neighborhood Initiative and the Center for Civic Engagement and Community Service, the street was designed to be inclusive, age-friendly and pedestrian-friendly bringing together residents and businesses, urban designers, and accessibility advocates.

We have mobilized designers to create projects, objects, interventions, and performances that will contribute to the rehabilitation of the street to set it as an example to be replicated in other streets around the City. The themes include urban green, urban farming, urban furniture, reading and storytelling, play, collective memory as well as walkability, soft mobility, recycling, and sustainability. All of the projects were produced in partnership with the AUB Neighborhood Initiative and many interventions will be permanent additions to the cityscape.

All interventions are ongoing from 23-29 June 10am-6pm except for performances where times and dates are otherwise specified.
