Tele Liban

Teleliban TV station, one of the oldest and most important stations in the middle east and the first one in Lebanon, has suffered many problems and has been left to rust since 1975. The main structure existing in Hazmieh was built by the British back in 1960’s influenced by the modernism movement created by le Corbusier, as it is designed with simple white structure, free façade, internal courtyard and many other features related to the modernism style of design.

The design initiative was to keep the building as is and get it back to its initial condition without removing the main line of architecture. In the interior part, the main entrance was re-designed using a contemporary approach inspired by Teleliban’s past, current and future condition. Using pixels, as a main pillar in visualizing the past and future, the entrance was designed vibrantly through colorful walls which change according to the even taking place, while creating a dancing TL logo in the ceiling celebrating the revival of Teleliban. The cafeteria was designed using vibrant colors, according to Mondrian style as a guiding design element while opening up toward an exterior courtyard.
