The achievement of the Cultural Center was the main aim of this urban renovation, a place for all made to enhance the relations and exchanges of the inhabitants through social and cultural practices. The Cultural Center, as public equipment, serves the town beyond the neighborhood limits and is therefore open to all of Bastia’s inhabitants; its role enables the neighborhood to open itself to the exterior. The aluminium perforated façade refelects surrounding context into the four sides of the building with a corresponding internal organization and a somewhat prototypical outward appearance: its box-like exterior presenting an image that is notably powerful yet graphically elegant at the same time.
