description
Considering that the new building will take the mark of the older one, the essential problem was in the desire to create a volume that holds all the necessary spaces required by the tender book, but in the same time to become a symbol for the entire Drumul Taberei neighbourhood. Generically speaking, the modern city being in a constant extension, must create, from the necessity to decongestionate the centre, new centres of social and cultural interest that can polarize the community/communities from that certain area. To achieve this goal we believe that the “Favorit” Cultural Centre must meet, along its functional role, also the one of a “landmark” capable of becomming a pole of attraction in the neighbourhood. Besides this thought, that holds a macro urban strategy from the locations point of view, we believe that a sculptural form without a “main facade” and a less photogenic terrace could harmonize through contrast with an area dominated by modernist, Cartesian buildings made in the 60`s and 70`s (often a good quality architecture) surrounded by various green areas. The fact itself that residents of the eight floor building from the north could see a sculptural object, instead of a non-walkable terrace, we believe that it is an important argument that sustains our approach. The proposed volume attempts, as a condition, to protect, but also to spacially extend the interiors, everything made with the purpose of a natural passing of the existing structures ground floor plan to the proposed volume.
