port of cultures

Port of Cultures is a building that refuses to die, so we didn’t kill it. The competition asked for a new cultural center in Mariupol on the exact footprint of a 120-year-old building that has already burned twice.

Crixá Educational Center

1st place national architecture competition The project was developed with the idea that public schools are key spaces for social change. They should be designed well beyond the idea of just learning spaces, but also as community centres, alive and open all day. The school's desing starts form the gound, and follows the 9m slope in between the site's borders, prioritizing the accesses and creating three distinct development levels. Caption Caption Caption The top level defines a light horizontal volume that sits on the terrain and houses the main educational spaces.

This distribution is completed by a final slab that host the laboratory and that integrates seamlessly the whole building. The building complex is delimitated towards the train lines by the slabs of the laboratory and the parking garage. These three elements merge into a very functional and yet peaceful structu... More
