Spatial Erasure: Reconstruction Projects in Beirut Abstract Often associated with processes of healing, postwar re-construction projects may be less related to the pre- destruction phase than to the actual act of destruction. This, at least, is what the Lebanese case suggests. In this essay, we argue that the spatial erasure initiated by war destruction is consolidated during postwar reconstruction. We developed this argument by analyzing two of the main postwar reconstruction projects that have marked Beirut’s urbanization since the end of its civil war in 1990. The first project, the reconstruction of Beirut’s downtown, was undertaken starting 1994 by a private real-estate company, Solidere [1], extends over an area of 191 hectares that mainly includes Beirut’s historical core. -
