The
definition of Lebanese identity is closely linked to the Lebanese village. The
village is the matrix. Too bad and unfortunately this civilization is
disappearing very quickly!
Our
villages are defined through by traditional houses, which were the subject of Eddy’s
first photographs from 1994 till today.
This Monday
Talk begins with the architectural typology of the traditional. What follows
next reveals the Lebanese villages that always preserve their
traditional aspect. Eddy will also present the restoration work made by Corpus
Levant with the Lebanese architects.
This book is a small museum is which
keeps between its pages history, heritage.
