Luminous Axis: An experience of knowledge Part 1 Project 2025 Ali Morad Beirut Arab University - Debbieh campus | Lebanon 'Luminous Axis: An Experience of Knowledge' presents a green campus design in Beqaa, Lebanon, where a central axis serves as both a physical and symbolic conduit of light. Architecturally, this axis guides natural illumination throughout the university, enhancing spatial experiences and fostering a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, creating an atmosphere of openness and clarity conducive to learning. Symbolically, the axis embodies the pursuit of knowledge, representing education's transformative power to dispel ignorance, much like light overcomes darkness, guiding students and faculty towards intellectual and personal growth.At the campus's heart lies an urban space designed to foster events and student interaction, encircled by the three main academic buildings, A1, A2, and A3. These buildings are interconnected via shaded bridges, ensuring comfortable and easy circulation for all. Faculty buildings incorporate courtyards, maximizing natural daylight and ventilation. Sustainability is further emphasized through a system of shaded scaffolding on the south and east facades to mitigate sun exposure and mirror ducts that bring natural light into underground spaces. Ultimately, this design envisions a university where the built environment actively reinforces the enlightening nature of education, leading its community along a luminous path of discovery and growth.
