Kulturens Bokhylla
?A culture center should be visually welcoming as well as attract a diverse range of visitors with different backgrounds.? This was the client?s request for a new cultural center in Nairobi. The location is in the heart of Nairobi?s industrial area, near several existing buildings that are already in use by the culture organization known as Go Down. I have chosen to keep most of the existing buildings and to use my new building as a complement for the desired program. I believe that it will pay off in the end to renovate the area in installments. My purpose in this project has been to design a building with natural environments and flexibility. I have been trying to think from a sustainable perspective, using almost all recycled materials and taking advantage of the location?s natural benefits. Thanks to the climate I have been able to place a lot of the facilities ?semi outside? as well as create a lot of areas in the shade.
