Thesis Book - Seeds of Hope

The building is conceived as a loop of cultural
institutions and public spaces by having the pavement
become ramps which lead into the urban living room, with
glimpses into the stage towers of OARA, the offices of
ALCA, and the rooftop galleries of FRAC. The ramp first
leads the people towards the core of MECA where the
visitors roam freely between the Quai de Paludate street
to the river promenade. At the center of the core, there
is a high MECA sign that illuminates the space with its
white LED lights. During special occasions, the core of
the project can be transformed into stages of concerts,
theaters, or an extended gallery for art installations.
