Text description provided by the architects. The building. The Cultural Centre is a flat, single-storey building. It is crossed by a covered pedestrian walkway which, as well as suggesting an alternative approach to passersby through the Centre’s services, leads to the train station underpass functioning as an important link in the urban road network. The building is divided into three distinct blocks arranged along the walkway, used by those going to the library and those on their way to the nearby underpass. The layout ensures that all the areas face onto the walkway. Following the underpass, on the right is the cafeteria/newspaper library; where the path widens it opens onto the library; it then leads to the play room, youth information centre and the multi-purpose area.
