House of Arts and Culture Lebanese-Omani Centre
Lebanese-Omani Centre is
a building that occupies the boundary of the inside and the outside. As situated
in the middle of pedestrian pathway, the building forms part of the public
circulation. Our aim here was to create a building that is solid yet porous,
where program is intertwined with public realm throughout.
Our strategy for
incorporating the public spaces into the building was drawing it’s inspiration
from the traditional Middle Eastern courtyard houses, where the open space is
interiorized as semi public space which offers intimacy and comfort. It is not
only creating inviting and intriguing atmosphere but also act as interstitial
space where interior and exterior communicates more delicately. In our
proposal, we have expanded this courtyard typology into a more complex three
dimensional version, by intertwine linear massing and void spaces vertically as
well as horizontally creating interlocking spaces of interior and exterior.
This interconnected public space is the central to the entire scheme acting as
a forecourt for visitors, a space for circulation, a public passage, as well as
outdoor exhibition and performance area. This space works as an interface
between the public and the centre providing spaces not just for the visitors to
the center, but providing a seamless integration between areas where people can
spontaneously visit for resting or gathering and the area where art and
cultural contents of the center are displayed, therefore provides larger
exposure of the art and culture to the general public.
