The Lebanese architecture practice PARALX, founded by Karim Moussawer, was born as a counter idea to the Starchitect model that structures many of today's firms.

For this week's Small Studio Snapshot, we talked with the firm about their collective approach, the importance of finding the right talent, and the dramatic urbanization of the Middle East, where much of their work is located.
