Bernard Khoury is a world renowned architect and a truly unique character.
Bernard starts by telling us the story behind his first project, designing the nightclub B018 (1:08) and what influenced his work early on (5:53). He then talks to us about how architectural education has to be reassessed internationally (12:59), modern architecture becoming a pale representation of culture & politics (15:16), the details behind his first 6 projects (23:34), continuously thriving in unstable Lebanese conditions (25:36), and focusing his work on manipulating situations in a “perverted” manner. We then discuss his buildings being severely damaged by the Beirut bomb (34:20), how his projects are a result of his political surroundings (40:05), the end of the unsustainable real-estate era in Lebanon (43:49), and his future endeavours (48:39).
