Concept Statement

The dancing cubes:
The new congress hall in banja luka will definitely make a huge change in the art,
music and theatre impact for the city, so the idea of having 
a new cultural node inside the old city triggers a lot of motivational aspects within the new design scheme proposed
Giving a new landmark with a unique mass that can be carved inside the memory not only by the community but also within the tourists themselves 

The project consists of 3 main masses 

1-    The congress hall     2-    The theatre     3-    The services building 

Along these masses the different components of the project were distributed 
Along these masses the different components of the project were distributed 

The congress hall:
The congress hall mass is the main mass of the project where it stands on 2 main roads giving a focal point to the project, it’s iconic and dominant yet welcoming and introducing. We choose the narrow shifting opening of the mass resembling the music beats that gives the feeling of a rhythm specially at night when it is lighted also it helps in decreasing the thermal load on the facades in the sunny days.

Form and concept:
The idea began with making a very dynamic yet geometrical form that shows the dancing masses on multi grid and also stand along the urban fabric.
Form generation

1. Land Plot of the Project
2. Extruding the outline of the mass from the outline of the plot.
3. Create a main piazza at the center and all the mass overlooking it.
4. The mass is being articulated according to the functionality of the program.
