Adelaide Creative Community Hub

The design seeks to explore the possibilities for architecture to act as a stimulant - generating exciting public spaces that help establish a creative atmosphere.

The heart of the design is an open courtyard used as an open-air theater for performances with an old existing building as the backstage. Management offices, cafe, a conference room, and an exhibiting space with artists workshop occupies the ground floor. The first floor houses a common leisure zone and a zone to hold forums, conferences and lectures. Skatingboard ramps are used to provide the vertical circulation. The roof was designed as a space to hold certain activities and gatherings with seating.

The building form emphasizes the sculptural qualities of the materials and form vocabulary used. Cast-in-situe concrete, mosaic,glass, metals and wood are among others used to conceive the visuals of this experimental design.
