Schön! alive 3 | materials and memories

Lina Ghotmeh is creating a future informed not only by physical materials, but by being attentive to genius loci – the spirit of the place. Paris-based Lebanese architect Ghotmeh designs with a keen sense of place and a profound respect for local craft and materials. Her architecture unfolds slowly, shaped by care: care for the land, for memory and for humans and their emotions within space. She weaves together the immaterial and the material, allowing history, climate and local knowledge to inform architecture that feels both caring, timeless and forward-looking. Born in Lebanon, a place layered with history, fragility and resilience, Ghotmeh carries the sensibility, warmth and hospitality of her homeland into her projects: through light and textures, by creating places for humans to connect and exchange, offering refuge and a sense of belonging, and quietly reminding us that architecture can be an act of care.
