Article source: K+P Architects “All the ways in which human beings overcome their original barbarism, and through artifice, become fully human”. Definition of culture by Samuel Pufendorf. As the above definition of culture our intervention is focused in two different states of the building. The first, their “primitive” state, reflected by the agglomeration of all vital functions for the operation of a building (infrastructure core).  Image courtesy K+P Architects

This encompasses the programmatic functions of the building; these functions are assigned to its identity. This body wraps and compromises with the existing urban structure.  Image courtesy K+P Architects The facade of Corten steel and glass enables the city dynamic can flow into the cultural center, interacting with all the functions “pods” mediated by the free organization in open spaces. The intervention is assumed as a metaphor of the importance of culture and its dynamics are for the development of man as a cultural being.
