Circa 1958

"Between June 1957 and January 1958 and in preparation for a housing program for Lebanon commissioned to his office by the United States Operations Mission in Lebanon, Constantinos Doxiadis surveyed the countries physical conditions. Given the scarcity of reliable statistics, Doxiadis had to depend on photography to capture the state of the country and to transfer this information to the urban planners, architects, and housing experts gathered in his Athens office."--Internal cover.
