Award for Lebanese architect Lina Ghatmeh

The Lebanese-French architect, Lina Ghatmeh, received the Grand Prix Afex 2016 award for her reconstruction of the National Museum of Estonia during a ceremony held last Friday in Venice, Italy. It should be noted, that this is the second award for Ghatmeh after her previous winning project, ‘The Rehabilitation of Massena Station’, a project which was part of a bigger scheme to reshape the French capital, Paris, and which proposed to turn the rail station into a habitat for agricultural and organic food production.
