Project idea

Concept: FISH (Head - Cultural Center / Body - Student complex). In terms of design, the object is designed as a circular form. The object tends not to burden, but it definitely defines the space, in the way that the previously constructed structure in the environment requires it.
In order to harmonize the object with the surrounding built-up surfaces and the sides of the world, account was taken of the orientation of the object in relation to the parameters of the specific location.
