Uniting the entire program within a singular enclosure, our project draws inspiration from the cover systems found in industrial structures, akin to a hangar. This architectural parallel transform the building into a dynamic hub for cultural production. A distinctive feature is the semi-permeable and load-bearing steel shell enveloping and defining the primary spaces.
The three pivotal masses supporting this shell serve as both the structural cores and the organizational anchors of the edifice. These cores not only provide stability but also serve as the nexus through which spaces are either distinctively separated or seamlessly interconnected.
The resultant design reflects a synthesis of industrial pragmatism and cultural functionality, creating a unique space where the architectural form becomes a metaphor for the diverse and dynamic activities housed within.
