About This Event
The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik hosted the third episode of ArchiDialogues, titled “Breaking the Lines: Inclusive Architecture in Search of a Normal Life,” featuring architect Charles Hadife.
Organized by the School of Architecture and Design, the lecture took place on April 30, 2026, at the John Paul II Amphitheater.
The discourse traced an unconventional architectural journey shaped by lived experience, observation, and resistance to traditional models. Rooted in the context of Beirut, it questioned dominant housing standards and explored alternative approaches centered on spatial quality, inclusivity, and human interaction.
Through selected projects, the lecture highlighted how architecture can challenge standardized development practices while remaining economically viable, proposing new ways of living that reconnect with place, memory, and community.
