Beirut 001 is the first readily available digital 3D model of

Beirut. Mapping buildings, roads, bridges, and tunnels,

and constructed with the humble means available to the

architect and his team over the span of three years, it is

offered to the public as a preliminary tool to collectively

re-imagine our city. Beirut 001, has been made public as

open source for free download in the midst of Lebanon’s

October Revolution on January 01, 2020. Being the only

available 3d model of Beirut when the Port Explosion on

August 4th , 2020 took place, it has been used by first

responders, students and professionals alike, including

ARUP, Forensic Architecture and Rice University’s

Spatial Lab.
