Buenos Aires, Argentina
Shamsudin Kerimov of Kerimov Architects reveals plans for the Multifunctional Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, a center which will include a theater and other performance spaces as well as restaurants and hotel rooms.
The Multifunctional Cultural Center is designed as a labyrinthine structure.
The building is conceived not as one volume but instead as individual volumes tailored to different functions.
This series of volumes are arranged in such a way to create spaces not only with them but between them, leading to different ways of moving through the building with different atmospheres.
Externally, the building looks like a closed structure of blank blocks, but inside, due to the labyrinth spatial organization and the transformational potential of the pavilions, the adventure and inspiring spatial experience begins.
The cultural center is located on two floors – the first and the one below ground, where additional spaces are concentrated, and in which a special action takes place.
To get there, one needs to go down through a secret passage – a waterfall.
There are four main axes in the labyrinth, each of which divides the structure into quarters.
The bottom left includes restaurants, the theater, and the offices.
The upper left quarter incorporates a large pavilion with the main stage, while the upper right sector is for the staff, hotel rooms, and an additional pavilion.
The project is estimated to be built by the end of 2025.
