Özet:

 People strive to maintain their lives and existence and live together with other people. This way of living together creates the concept of society. Society, on the other hand, contributed to the emergence of a concept such as culture. It is deeply related to the concepts of culture, language and space. In places where social dynamics are dominant, both language and place have become a part of cultural richness. Architecture is also a field that affects the formation of culture through the concept of space. Beirut is the capital of Lebanon and a multicultural city where many languages are spoken. Blending the culture of the Middle East and the Mediterranean, Beirut reflects the most concrete examples of intercultural transition with its nearly 5000-year-old history and later established modern and cosmopolitan structures. Traces of a citys language and culture can be understood through the architecture of that city. Beiruts architectural heritage can also have an impact on the language; because architecture provides clues to the society about the history, cultural values and identity of a society. Beiruts different architectural styles, historical structures and modern buildings reflect the citys history and cultural identity, also creating an impact on the language. Architecture and language help preserve and transmit a societys history, traditions and beliefs to future generations and play a key role in the formation of cultural identity. From this point of view, the study reveals this cultural influence of the city of Beirut and the reflections of this influence.

 İnsanlar hayatlarını ve varlıklarını sürdürmek, diğer insanlarla birlikte yaşamak için çaba gösterirler. Bu birlikte yaşama biçimi toplum kavramını yaratır. Toplum ise kültür gibi bir kavramın ortaya çıkmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Kültür, dil ve mekân kavramlarıyla derinden ilişkilidir. Toplumsal dinamiklerin hakim olduğu yerlerde hem dil hem de mekân kültürel zenginliğin bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Mimarlık aynı zamanda mekân kavramı üzerinden kültürün oluşumuna da etki eden bir alandır. Beyrut, Lübnanın başkenti ve birçok dilin konuşulduğu çok kültürlü bir şehirdir. Ortadoğu ve Akdeniz kültürünü harmanlayan Beyrut, 5000 yıla yaklaşan tarihi ve sonrasında kurulan modern ve kozmopolit yapılarıyla kültürlerarası geçişin en somut örneklerini yansıtıyor. Bir şehrin dilinin ve kültürünün izleri o şehrin mimarisinden anlaşılabilir. Beyrutun mimari mirasının da dil üzerinde etkisi olabilir; Çünkü mimarlık, bir toplumun tarihine, kültürel değerlerine ve kimliğine dair topluma ipuçları verir. Beyrutun farklı mimari tarzları, tarihi yapıları ve modern binaları şehrin tarihini ve kültürel kimliğini yansıtırken, dilde de etki yaratıyor. Mimarlık ve dil, bir toplumun tarihini, geleneklerini ve inançlarını koruyarak gelecek nesillere aktarmaya yardımcı olur ve kültürel kimliğin oluşmasında kilit rol oynar. Buradan hareketle çalışma Beyrut şehrinin bu kültürel etkisini ve bu etkinin yansımalarını ortaya koymaktadır.
