A modern culture house is a frame for people to meet. It is the city's living room. How to contain the diversity of people and functions in one single building And how to adjust this comparably large volume to the small-town scale of K?ge
Our answer is the creation of a large Cultural Frame - a big roof and timber structure covering a village of 5 “houses”, numerous informal spaces and an interior cultural plaza. The wooden frame is a reference to K?ge's many historic houses with exposed timber-frame construction. By densifying the wooden structure, it in essence becomes an ubiquitous bookshelf and a flexible frame for cultural events and exhibitions.
