Mapping the City - A creative approach on Beirut
During the Beirut Design Week 2018 creatives explored the neighbourhoods of Beirut. The participants developed themes and concepts referring to the city based on social issues, personal experiences and its visual language. Design thinking, design skills, and public participation are key tools and drivers for this project. They are all used as the methodology to explore, analyze, visualize and respond to the neighbourhood’s life and its people. The workshop aims to encourage social change-makers within this community. Once sensitised to their social and cultural context, participants are encouraged to take an active and responsible role towards a complex urban environment they live and work in. The social design workshop is an initiative from andrews & degen, a research-based graphic design agency located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The workshop ‘Mapping the city - A creative approach on...’ has already been conducted in more than 25 different cities around the world. For all the results please visit www.mappingthecity.com. We would like to thank the Goethe-Institut in Beirut, the Beirut Design Week and Public Work Studio for making this workshop happen.

The WHO has found
that waterpipe use is a
significant and growing
proportion of tobacco
use globally.
Sweetened, flavored
waterpipe tobacco is
called maassel, which is
made via the fermentation
of tobacco with
molasses, glycerin and
fruit essence. Studies
have shown that users are
attracted by the aromatic
smell, the smooth taste of
the smoke and the bubbling
sound of water.

The typical user smokes in
one-hour sessions during
which she or he draws a
level of toxicants ranging
from less than 1 to tens
of cigarettes.
There is still a widespread
misperception that waterpipe
tobacco smoking
is safer than cigarette
smoking.
According to the Global
Youth Tobacco Survey, use of
waterpipe tobacco products
was more frequent than cigarette
smoking among children
aged 13-15 in all 17 countries
of the MENA Region. Use
increased from 13.3% to
18.9% among young people
from 2008 to 2010.
