Abstract
In the wake of a hazard, cities face significant challenges, particularly in meeting the urgent residential needs of affected communities. This thesis aims to address these challenges by focusing on the architectural needs and demands that arise in a city after a hazard event, with the case study of Beirut's Port explosion serving as a primary focal point. By studying Beirut's urban morphology and using it as a foundation, this research endeavors to develop a comprehensive and adaptable system applicable to cities facing similar post-hazard scenarios. Beirut's Port explosion on August 4, 2020, resulted in widespread devastation, impacting the city's urban fabric and displacing numerous residents from their homes.
This tragic event serves as a catalyst for understanding the complex dynamics of post-hazard urban settlements and the pressing need for innovative architectural responses
