Biotoop Cultural Center

Finalist, 2024 A+Awards, Cultural - Unbuilt Cultural
Project Featured on Sep 07, 2024
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
Biotoop Cultural Centre, an extension of the park it lies within, is a concept design for the cultural and entertainment hub in the city of Tartu, Estonia. Guided by the site’s historical remnants, and inspired by Estonia’s natural and diverse landscape, Biotoop is designed as an architectural centre piece, an iconic building, but more so, an immersive experience at edge of the Emajõgi river.
Small in footprint to preserve as much of the natural park as possible, the cultural centre houses a museum, library, cinema, and various restaurants spanning six levels, two of which are below grade. Fused within the programme are exploratory opportunities relating to Estonia’s five national park landscapes in the form of biotopes. Every level is filled with a narrative through internal and external connection; the undulating floor plates surround an open-air courtyard and are physically joined by a continuous ramp, culminating at the expansive views of the City at the rooftop park. Framed and programmatic moments highlight the biotopes; their unique vegetation and geography celebrated directly through views, and indirectly through programmed spaces for learning and interacting with Tartu’s natural beauty.
