Project idea

Baltim's Culture Complex aims to revive the lost history of the place by creating a narrating museum that blends with the sand dunes and the varrying topography, bringing the forgotten stories of this place to life by designing an immersive museum that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding sandy hills. Through the use of innovative exhibits and engaging storytelling techniques, visitors will uncover the rich history of this region and gain a deeper appreciation for its unique cultural heritage. Creating a one-of-a-kind experience that connects people with the past and inspires them to preserve the land for future generations. The tower sweeps up to the sky, shining its light across both the lake and sea. Standing as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all those who call this great city home. Also adapting the creation of a new form of flexible theatres that pays homage to the old beacon and highlights its historical significance while being blended with the site. Furthermore featuring a creative hub offering a range of workshops in art, technology, media, and sciences to entertain the regular influx of visitors to the city. This hub serves as a platform for creative expression and innovation, promoting engagement and learning in these fields.
