Text description provided by the architects. Ancestry, the ancient memory inscribed in the collective unconscious of peoples, their ways and customs, traditions and knowledge, are characteristics that reproduce throughout history and physically manifest as the sediments and textures of culture. As the guardian and proponent of ways of being and existing in the world across its diverse configurations of space and time, culture permeates and organizes experience. This fundamental creative power, which preserves identity and diversity, shapes human action in the world, reflecting its development and freedom, and making culture one of the pillars of sustainable development.
