Bernard Khoury

Bernard Khoury, world-renown Architect, to speak on Monday, Feburary 9, 2009 at 7:00PM, at the Cronkite School of Journalism, room 128, ASU downtown campus.

Bernard Khoury is known as a bad boy of architecture, most notably for building a night club on the former site of a refugee camp in Beirut. In Phoenix he will speak about healing through the creation of an architecture that emerges in response to difficult conditions like damage from war or the social issues arising from the work of irresponsible developers. Khoury thrives on resuscitating concrete carcasses abandoned by others to save them from demolition by putting them to other uses.
