B A S E L ’ S L I V I N G R O O M O F C U L T U R E The city of Basel meets its living room. The concept interpretates what would be the living room of the city. We understand that a city living room should be as a hub that stands between the intense city’s urban fabric and the calmness of its private establishments. We bring together a place of routine activities: meet, read, chat, eat, with a not less important, platform of information and culture exchange. The pavilion should be a common ground, of city inhabitants and tourists to create a pleasant environment for gathering.Maximizing the potential of the site, project centralizes 3 pedestrian flows into unique junction. Built structure of the pavilion is mainly underground enabling the continuity of city life. The geometry frames pedestrian flows creating two stages. Ground one, the ‘city stage’, and underground one ‘art stage’, nucleus of art program. These two stages accommodate in parallel different programs, creating different scenarios of use depending of the need or seasonal weather condition. The ‘art stage’ enables art exchange and platform for different art events. The screen with main information for tourists is also placed there. With a big floor map of Basel placed on the stage itself, it connects to screen from which users can choose a theme of the museum depending on their area of interest , see where is it on the floor map, how long it takes to get there, as well buy the ticket. It is possible also to generate bespoke tour, or get to know other places in Basel. Stepping on the stages user become an active participant in art and public life of the city.
