Aline Asmar d'Amman Talks Beloved Bookshop, Antiques + More
Briefly

"I learned to find beauty in ruins and cherish the sense of perfect imperfections," says d'Amman, reflecting on the influence of her Lebanese heritage on her architectural perspective.
"For d'Amman, the Vitra Fire Station is a powerful work because it's essentially timeless and could exist in any place - without a date or style," emphasizing her appreciation for modern architecture.
"Her upbringing in a Francophile environment in Beirut, where refinement coexists amidst chaos, is the greatest influence on her life and work," capturing her architectural philosophy.
"Being Karl's architect will always be one of the most incredible thrills of my adult working life," notes d'Amman, recalling her collaboration with legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.
