– the New Cityscape with Three Volumes –
The building of the culture centre will be comprised of three volumes: a floating monolith housing the public library, a crystal tower for exhibitions, foreign cultural institutes & belvedere, and a volume of lamella that accommodates a theatre. The Library, theatre and restaurant are all open toward this courtyard, where various cultural and daily activities of citizens may be focused. The microcosmic courtyard is intended to become an “outdoor living room” for citizens.
