- Bernard Khoury was born on August 19, 1968 in Beirut, Lebanon. Khalil Khoury, a Lebanese architect and designer, is his father. Khalil Khoury worked with exposed concrete and designed the Mont La Salle School Campus, the Municipal Stadium of Jounieh and the Interdesign Showroom building. Khoury's father also produced work at differing scales ranging from the design and production of furniture items to his participation in the development of the master plan for the reconstruction of the Beirut Central District in 1977.
Bernard Khoury lived in and out of Lebanon during the early years of the Civil War, before pursuing his architectural studies in the United States of America. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990, a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1991 from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and a Master degree in Architectural Studies in 1993 from Harvard University.
Khoury started his professional career soon after his graduate studies in post-war Beirut, which became his territory of experimentation where he produced 16 unbuilt projects spanning a period of four years (1993-1997). During the early years of his practice, he was financially supported by his family's furniture manufacturing business that provided him with a design studio and gave him access to the workshop and manufacturing facilities of their factories.
Khoury first came to public and critical attention with the completion of the B018 music club in 1998, his first built project. This building sparked a string of temporary projects, through which Khoury built a reputation for his ability to produce critical interventions in problematic zones. These include his first six built projects: the Centrale project (2000), Yabani (2001), the BLC Bank (2004), the Bank of Beirut pavilion in Chtaura (2005), as well as the Black Box (2005). In the media, various publications dubbed Khoury "the bad boy" of architecture in the Middle East.
Khoury has taught at the American University of Beirut (1994, 1995, 2003, 2010), École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2008) and l’Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in Paris (2011-2012). He is co-founder of the Arab Center for Architecture
