S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Brazilian ambassador’s residence in Beirut<\/strong>, Lebanon, will open<\/strong> its doors for guided tours on May 13 and 17.

Architecture professionals visited the residence in 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This will be the second time the residence opens it doors, the Brazilian Embassy in Beirut reported. Last year, groups of architecture professionals participated, but this year registration was for the general public. Participation in the visits, including shuttle service, will be complimentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cornerstone of the residence was laid in 1959 by Lebanon\u2019s President General Fouad Chehad. It was built under the supervision of Lebanese engineer and architect George Jurdak and featured the contribution of local craftspeople and suppliers. The garden features an abstract sculpture in white marble by Brazilian modernist artist Bruno Giorgi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the embassy, the residence translates the connection between Brazil and Lebanon<\/strong> and their peoples. It is located in a neighborhood called Bras\u00edlia which is named after Brazil\u2019s capital city, on top of a hill overlooking Beirut and the Mediterranean Sea. The exposed concrete is part of the Brazilian Brutalism, while the geometric shapes in tiles show the local influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forthcoming tours will be led by George Arbid, director of the Arab Center for Architecture<\/a>, a pivotal institution in the study of modernist architecture. This initiative is spearheaded by the Brazilian Embassy in Beirut, supported by the Guimar\u00e3es Rosa Institute, and aims to foster appreciation for Brazilian architecture<\/strong> and enhance intercultural dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
