The conceptual development of the project started from<br />

an intricate and thorough understanding and drafting of an<br />

overall masterplan, within which the cultural center itself<br />

works as an element within a much larger system.<br />

Drawing from historical research, the genius loci of the site,<br />

and current social needs within the area, the complex programme<br />

of the building itself was derived. The morphology<br />

of the envelope aimed to encapsulate this as well, resonating<br />

with the context within which it is deeply embedded.<br />

An incredibly important aspect of<br />

the project was to have a strong<br />

facade itself becomes a function<br />

of both this conceptual cue, as<br />

well as aiding the programmatic<br />

aspects of the project itself.
