PORTFOLIO ▲ T he administrative and development offices for the American University of Beirut, New York, were designed by MBB Architects, New York (mbbarch.com). They echo the spirit and character of the American Univ. of Beirut's Lebanon campus, using materials such as Lebanese cedar, Jerusalem stone, and mottled plasterwork to provide spare, flowing spaces with evocative accents. The university's story is also told through graphics, such as this etched glass panel that depicts the entry gates to the campus in Lebanon.
