    paper My master's graduation project + a landscape project for a municipality in Portugal
    The graduation project is one of the solutions for Beirut, Lebanon, after the 2020 port explosion, encouraging the use of sustainable public transportation and zero carbon. The other project is a landscape plan for a portion of the city, covering an area of approximately 10 hectares, to create and develop the area by adding social housing units with green, blue, and gray areas. It also encourages walking instead of using public transportation, while meeting the area's needs for commercial and sports centers, a school, and a robust infrastructure.
