In this book, the potential of modern architecture renovation in the Global South is explored as a catalyst for self-determination and community-building. It addresses contemporary heritage challenges, questions renovation trends, and reveals gaps in historicization and archiving, while reflecting on the need for new architectural operations due to a lack of infrastructure. It begins with the Oscar Niemeyer Guest House renovation project in Tripoli, Lebanon, by the Beirut-based East Architecture Studio, and includes further case studies, conversations, and visual essays by international experts in architecture, governance, regenerative design, contemporary art, philosophy, and gaming.
