5 key facts about this project
### Project Overview
Located in an urban context, the Poetry Hall integrates the concept of poetic expression with structural integrity, utilizing concrete as a primary material. The design establishes a dialogue between historical and contemporary narratives, while creating a communal space dedicated to the celebration of creativity. The intent is to foster public engagement through an architecture that both attracts and facilitates artistic interactions.
### Spatial Dynamics and User Engagement
The Poetry Hall comprises a dynamic two-level structure designed to accommodate a variety of functions. The first level serves as an open communal area for gatherings and performances, while the second level offers more private spaces. The layout promotes fluidity in movement and interaction, with strategically placed staircases that blend seamlessly into the overall spatial configuration. Ground-level pathways connect directly with the exterior, encouraging accessibility and spontaneous social interactions among visitors, thus positioning the hall as a meaningful addition to the cultural landscape.
### Materiality and Aesthetic Harmony
The primary material, concrete, is employed not only for its durability but also for its potential to embody the artistic themes of the project. A textured finish accentuates the material's raw quality, reinforcing its role in conveying narratives akin to poetry. Complementing the concrete, glass elements are incorporated into the design, particularly in a prominent spherical feature that introduces lightness and transparency. This juxtaposition of heavy and light materials enhances the aesthetic experience while inviting natural light into the interior spaces, further enriching the atmosphere.
