The aim of
the building we propose is to find a point of balance between different times.
A relation
between the history and the future; a conjunction point between the west and
the east cultures; a suspended moment between static and dynamic movements.
The choice
of Leonardo is the choice of a symbol of culture in his most humanistic and
developed meaning; the choice of an undeveloped Leonardo’s drawing wants to create
a link between different eras.
The drapery
study gives a “formal” link between the western art and the eastern culture; it
is an ancient study carried on with modern technologies.
In the Information
Technology era it gives a strong image of this contemporary House of Culture.
On this drapery skin can play digital images, paintings, writings.
Facing the
south, photovoltaic systems can be placed on the whole surface.
On the
other elevations, a system of connected giant frames, made of cor-ten and
corroded metal, show the events of the Centre.
They are eyes
wide open, observing the world dynamics and changes; stage fronts and curtains showing
human acts.
They want to
create a relation between the House and the world, made of looks between one
other.
Inside, we
considered the whole main staircase as an exhibition walk, with terraces and
areas to place art pieces. Their steps, made of glass, allow the natural light,
coming from the roof, to reach until the ground floor.
On the
roof, in one last horizontal “frame”, is placed a “cavea”: an outdoor theatre, giving
a beautiful view of Beirut.
