Public Content Creation Space

Enclosing a programmatic space that sits in between buildings through a sculptural envelope. Developed as a multi-purposed creation space; this building provides a screening room, content creation areas, as well meeting rooms and an open reading space.

The facade acts as both enclosure and programmatic element, providing adequate privacte and light conditions accordingly. Appearing as a stacked, juxtaposd envelope, the builiding allows access to all floors through its centrail ciruclation core, also serving as strcutural piece. The building is actively engaging with the user through the facade; a brutalist approach through transperancies, materilaity and exposed structure.
