Between 2009 and 2016, Gregory Buchakjian took tens of thousands of reconnaissance photographs documenting each building and its particularities. These were classified by district, sector and building. The approach was intended to be systematic, the objective being to catalogue all, or at least most of, the samples collected. Nevertheless, the database in no way professes to be a catalogue raisonné, but a survey conducted within a specific timeframe. The 750 buildings listed did not all exist in their dilapidated state at the same time. De 2009 à 2016, Gregory Buchakjian produit une dizaine de milliers de photographies de repérages qui constituent une documentation de chaque édifice et de ses particularités. Elles sont classées par quartier, secteur et immeuble. La démarche se veut systématique, avec pour objectif d’inventorier la totalité, sinon le maximum d’échantillons. La base de données ne prétend néanmoins pas être un catalogue raisonné, mais un sondage s’inscrivant dans une temporalité. Les 750 immeubles répertoriés n’ont pas existé dans leur état d’abandon en même temps. ©gregory buchakjian, marc baroud, marc dibeh, all rights reserved.
