Two neighborhood community centers located in different residential areas as mirror images of each other.
The building “footprint” (the green axis) creates a square in the façade of the plot and is built on the meeting between the two axes: one is north/south, facing the inner gardens, and the other east/west, facing the sea (the blue axis). The two axes divide the building into four sections — three blocks and one block built as a negative. The three blocks are used for three different activity areas: group activities, dance, and performances. Each activity area has a lobby that connects to the main axes. The entrance is central and near the meeting point of the axes, while next to it are the ticket office and cafeteria, which includes a deck for outdoors reclining.
The building design expresses the various functions, including the blue and green axes, in a manner that one may tell from the outside what is happening inside the building.
