DESCRIPTION

The main axis of the project coincides with the main circulation axis of the plot that runs across the Southern side of the plot. This axis adjoins the main Southern facade of the plot and it penetrates the building from its Western side to its Eastern one. There we can find all the main entrances of the buildings’ complex and the stairwells. Ιn this way we shape the backbone of the project on which are located all the main function spaces. Despite the fact that the project is constituted of two buildings, their continuity has not been disturbed. All of the activities and the public circulation create a strong connection between them and generate a united Cultural Centre. The penetrability of the buildings’ volumes in the east-west axis gives the opportunity to its surrounding landscape to penetrate into the unit.
