The design reconnects all people from both the smaller village context and the urban context of the city. It is dedicated to the community: relaxation, reflection, conversations, learning process, and human help. The building as an integrated contextual intervention represents a grounded solid mass, that symbolises material’s durability and human’s strength, and an internal lightweight of features and structure, as a feeling of floating in human’s process of reflection. The two characteristics are strongly connected to the brief of humanist architecture.
