Biblioteca : Wonderful Design Solution For Hill-Building By Giancarlo Mazanti

Designed by Giancarlo Mazanti, The building which look like the band of rocks on the hill was designed smartly according to its contour and view. So that, the building could approriate with surrounding landscape and look like apart of the hill. This cultural center in Santo Domingo, Colombia, is what I envision the real future of post-apocalyptic architecture to look like. The Architect dispenses with the obtrusive and predictable rearrangements of glass, steal and concrete phallic references with this organically inspired beacon of grounded, yet ethereal modernity. Celebrating nature’s beauty and reminding us of the impermanence of most man-made structures, this design invites everyone closer without the subconscious feeling you are merely a visitor in someone else’s domain. Inside reflects all the stark minimalist ideas we come to expect from most modern art/cultural showcases, with sharp angles and the inoffensive use of white paint and pale woods.
