The Lebanese architect Joseph Philippe Karam was born in Beirut in 1923. He graduated with diplomas in Mathematics and Engineering-Architecture in 1946 from the Universite Saint Joseph’s Ecole Francaise d’Ingenieurs et d’Architectes (now renamed ESIB, or Ecole Superieure des Ingenieurs de Beyrouth). In his short career, Karam was seen as the leading proponent of modern architecture in Lebanon. Among his projects are the Beirut City Center, the second phase of the Phoenicia Hotel, and a large number of residential and commercial buildings. He died in Cyprus in 1976. link title
