Lina Ghotmeh. The Archeologist of the Future

This is a journey to discover the work of Lina Ghotmeh – Architecture. It’s a survey on its innovative and poetic work. An essay, a selection of projects and an interview reveal an in-depth, historical, and materially sensitive approach to its projects. Lina Ghotmeh defines her work as ‘Archeology of the future’. The archeology of the future is a way to reinvent the traces of the past. Space is thought of as a palimpsest of stories, of narratives, but also of specific conditions that the architect brings to the surface. It is an approach in which the phenomenological dimension is founded with a rigorous knowledge of the natures – environmental, cultural, social – of the context. Accessing Lina Ghotmeh’s architectures means intercepting the hermeneutic relations between the different phases of their design process.
