CBD - Core Cultural Center

This building showcases the powerful combination of arts, cultures, and transparency in the city, with monumental staircases serving as bridges between places, people, and experiences. Our study proposes to reinforce this with a relevant, flexible, and adaptable scenographic solution. It is a place of connections and exchanges in the heart of the building, represented by the Atrium, its staircases, and its galleries. It was therefore necessary to question the horizontal and vertical flows.
The idea is to create a “Ring” as a set of spaces scattered over several floors, creating transition areas that will need to be defined more precisely according to functional and commercial issues. The aim is to develop the use of existing circulation routes, extending them to all floors to enrich the visitor experience and meet the needs of the public. These spaces could offer opportunities for screenings, discussions and waiting areas, press points, rest and dining areas, socializing and interaction after an exhibition or show, presentations of works related to an exhibition or creator, etc. It will be possible to keep certain spaces flexible to better adapt to demand, but others may be studied and implemented in the long term depending on programmatic intentions.
A simple promenade and common connecting space, this “ring” is open to all audiences and all their emotions.
