This proposal is about these people and their place. It is not about injecting an edifice that reflects a foreign culture, but instead echoes the best cultural center that would be appropriate for this place and these people…
The Bamiyan Cultural Centre, presentation board 1 of 3 boards, with a multitude of images and text on each board.
Over the coming months we will release each image individually along with it’s corresponding text, so please subscribe. Sorry we are breaking it down this way, but we wish to engage our subscribers with specific topics related to the program function and text being presented.
Our scheme ‘stands on the landscape’ acknowledging it’s most special location that has the potential to take in breath taking views both up and down the valley, thus, we sweep our design like painting with a brush, careful to follow the contours, careful to snuggle into the sides, and careful to blend with the cliffs, with only a jewel nestled at the center, to sparkle with a saturated hue to enhance the best of what makes this valley so wonderful.
