Popis projektu

Cyprus attracts the attention of researches from various disciplines both with its rich historical background and cultural heritage and with its natural characteristics like flora and fauna. However, this attention is still less than it deserves. Primary reason for choosing this project topic is to attract the attention of researchers to Cyprus by providing the appropriate environment for researchers coming from various countries to do some research here and need accommodation during that time. Moreover, regular workshops, temporary and permanent exhibition facilities will contribute a lot to the people living on this island and it is aimed that this building will be one of the central places of a Cyprus Biennial to be held in the future and the plan of the building is determined accordingly.
