Solidere AR09

Annual report 2009

Solidere’s prominent aim is to reemphasize Beirut City Center’s role after the war. The concept reveals the culmination of 15 years of reconstruction and development efforts, outlined in primary numbers, photo essays and call-outs. The report’s tactile feel – white silk screen on black background with a silver overprint of Solidere’s construction lines, reflects the urban intervention on the city and the contrasts of Beirut’s social fabric. The combination of old style serif with bold non-serif typeface alludes to the multifaceted city that builds on various layers of time and civilizations, portraying the memory of a space and the emergence of a place.
