CULTURAL LANDSCAPE CENTRE

The Project is set in the town of Mařiž in the Slavonice area on the Czech Republic/ Austrian Border. It is to be a Cultural Landscape Centre with strong sustainable and resilient credentials. The buildings are to create spaces for cultural reflection and activation for the local area. The project is to complement and enhance existing local trades, tourism and Local Eu initiatives being conducted in the region and cross borders. The building program is designed with the aim for providing a platform for local heritage and cultural programs for the region. The use of Living Building Challenge was used as a framework for the design process to attempt the highest form of sustainable principles The decision to use the recycled brown paper as the medium for this project comes for the attempt to make the entire Diploma process as sustainable as possible. The limited use of computers with an emphasis on hand drawn graphics and illustrations is in tune with the resilient principles of the Diploma Project.
