Bamiyan Cultural Center Design Competition

Category: Design Competition

Bamiyan Cultural Center – can indeed be people's center nourishing cultural excellence. The center adopts the language of USED SPACES. It acts as a vehicle to further augment the traditional skills. It extracts insight from vernacular forms observed in Bamiyan old bazaar, Shrines, Buddhist caves, clusters of the fortified-perforated wall, circulation paths, courtyards, etc. Based on the brief and studying the range of societal issues, architectural interpretation of vernacular forms has led to the pluralism of USED space- An attribute similar to the Bamiyan lifestyle. Shedding the elitist attitude, the designed spaces celebrate the popular- traditional and relevant adaptation seen in the city in the last few decades- making it PEOPLE’S CENTER that nourishes the culture, fostering cross-cultural awareness and broader goals of peace building and reconciliation.
