PROJECT BACKGROUND

Architecture, intent
and experience.

A monumental entrance turns arrival into the opening scene of the festival. The arch reinterprets Lebanese stone textures and cultural motifs through a lightweight scenic construction. Its layered frame and illuminated lettering establish a memorable threshold between the everyday landscape and a collective celebration.

Elio Atallah — my contribution: I created the festival entrance concept, developing the arch geometry, Lebanese cultural references and scenic material expression. This design contribution was developed within my work with ICE International Events.

Collaboration: ICE International Events. Credits refer to the stated personal contribution within the wider project team, not sole authorship of the event or production.
