In the workshop 'Mapping the City - A creative approach on Beirut' Marc Andrews and Christian Degen, two German designers, will explore together with young local creatives a neighborhood in Beirut during the Beirut design week. In this week they will examine and investigate how from a design perspective and methodology they can contribute to the quality of life in a rapidly changing urban environment. Marc and Christian have already conducted the workshop in more than 25 cities worldwide, from China, Colombia, South Africa, Senegal, to Romania, Moldavia and many more..
Both are living and working in Amsterdam. Together they are running a creative studio for visual communication, called andrews:degen, where they are developing strategies and visual concepts for campaigns, identities, publications and online services. Further they love to share and apply their knowledge with young people in the context of social design for the greater cause.
