Sinead StewartThe Abayd family have lived in their house in Moussaitbeh, Beirut, for seventy years. Two months ago they were given notice to leave and told that their house was to be knocked down. The day my friend and I visited them, or rather stumbled upon them, we had been walking around this area for the first time, and as usual we were battling with emotions. We truly appreciated the enormous beauty of some of the old houses, and struggled to come to terms with the fact that so many of them are being recklessly demolished.

The Oxford English Dictionary states that heritages are "valued objects and qualities such as historic buildings and cultural traditions that have been passed down and preserved from previous generations." As a resident of Beirut, the words that come to mind when someone says "heritage" are the antonyms: demolition and preservation.
