The story behind the D&AD Impact Programme winner accelerating the development of urban forests
Adib Dada won a Future Impact Pencil in 2019 for his project Beirut RiverLESS — a series of initiatives which aimed to address the deterioration of the polluted Beirut River and its negative impact on the surrounding communities and environment. Here, the founder of the sustainable architecture consultancy theOtherDada speaks about how his Pencil-winning project that aimed to plant urban forests in Beirut grew with the help of the D&AD Impact Programme.
