In one of my books, I delve into the architectural narrative of space, exploring the interrelation between the architectural space and the abstract concept of the point and the void. To support my arguments, it deviates from classical architectural practices and revisits historical ecstatic landmarks, notably the Pyramid of Cheops. Thus, this book offers a rejuvenated chronicle encompassing surveys, engineering, and scientific research centred around the essential treasure of all time, the Cheops Pyramid. The initial episodes elaborate on this renowned structure, portraying it as an icon of virtuosity and a profound repository of knowledge that continues to signify the nomadic importance of the regional and outer-regional strata during the last millennia, carrying connotations of monotheistic literature. Therefore, this literary work aims to establish a pragmatic approach to discerning the void characteristics perceived through modern perspectives. This approach is achieved through a singular notion of the apex point, which encapsulates the essential attributes of this historic icon. This concept circles back to the assertion that firmly establishes itself amidst ongoing discussions about the mystical void, serving as a resolute cornerstone and a foundational element in the discourse on the Void Theory.

 

In my other publications, I emphasise the historical narration of the various Baakline icons in Lebanon's Mountains. Among the objectives is an increasing need to restore historical cities like those in their original urban layout, subjected to man-made changes, natural ageing, and environmental degradation. Also, my objective is to develop a practical methodology for rehabilitating Mediterranean historic buildings, particularly those of Shouf and Lebanese cities, using modular and pixelated patterns, which are fundamental features of the historic city of Baakline and other comparable Shouf cities. The other main objectives are envisaging ruined buildings' modular spatial practices, restoring them in digital form to their original state, and studying all relevant conservation and restoration parameters. The methodology also includes a topographic survey (3D laser scanning). As part of my goal to launch Shouf's historic digitisation for a sustainable future, I have turned to the realm of BIM and its processes to allow all adaptable solutions to fully model, analyse, and compare historical buildings' various constituents. This started with visiting the Historical landmarks at the centre of the Shouf region and scanning the site surrounding these existing buildings, including other benchmarks. The key conclusion is that this initiative resulted in a robust method to restore historic buildings and accesses using the innovative 3D Pixel Matching technique, representing a new Nobel methodology. The conclusion rests solemnly on preserving and restoring heritage sites, ensuring their protection alongside the historical bridging that is taking place between the past, the present, and the future. Indeed, we are determined to preserve what is remarkably a true reflection of art in its quest for a universal language and compliance with authentic architecture. Many genuine efforts lend a hand to the local community as a kind gesture to establish a norm of scientific identity for our buildings that we consider to represent actual beings and to determine a digital history, obtaining results that reveal how these buildings breathe, sustain and reinstate.
