• Location: Limassol, Cyprus
The new Agricultural Heritage Centre is composed as a new town square
surrounded by cultural, civic and recreational activities that include
the existing neighbouring cultural centre and church of Saint Fotios.
While remaining compact in form, it is permeated on all sides with openings
onto the natural setting surrounding it.
To the south and east the buildings are cut to allow small glimpses of
the hills and valleys in the distance. To the north the campus composition
opens up to the hillside where an amphitheatre is formed looking into
the cultural centre. The whole of the campus is overhung with a large,
thin roof punctuated with variable openings. |
