The main goal of the project is to create a spacious bright space full of life and energy, which would also open its visitors a view of the wonderful surrounding landscape. In the process of developing the idea, it was decided that the object with its presence on the territory should have minimal impact on the landscape. after all the above wishes were taken into account and meaningful, it was decided to create a building that repeats the shape of the river bank. the building is literally buried in the relief, opening onto the surrounding landscape with only one facade To light up the huge atrium, uniting all the functional blocks together, a huge light opening was developed directly in the roof. To enhance the light effect and create the illusion of a single bright space, all functional blocks are made of transparent glass partitions. The premises of the cultural center include a museum of modern art, lecture and classrooms, various creative workshops, and a library. a restaurant with an excellent panoramic view and a concert hall are also available for visitors. Light design materials, plenty of sunlight, and a magnificent view of the breathtaking landscape will have a beneficial effect on the emotional and spiritual state of the people inside. and the most exciting thing is that the atmosphere in the cultural center and the visitors' self-awareness can change depending on the season, time of day, and the weather outside because this building does not just actively interact with the environment. it lets it into itself, it literally merged with it into one whole system.
