Architecture Center

- Architecture Center - is a contemporary place and a milieu both for architects and the public who want to be involved thinking on architecture and experiencing their building environment in more sensitive way. Also, it`s a chance for improving design ability, theoretical background and also experiencing new structural material and technics; both for architects and the public whom concern with architecture. Architecture center in this mean has more functions than just being a place for architects and architectursl teoretical discussions. Of course this is also important but not enough just byself. Interraction, Understanding architecture as a cultural phenomena and art in addition to building science an interractive and efficient dialogue is required between architects and the public.

- This Architecture Center is also a part of an open-air museum which includes historical places and buildings as well as new urban fabric.

- An Architecture Center - both for architects and the public - should be discovered within thecity itself and have a space that form its own atmosphere.

- Experiencing arcitecture and being a flaneur in the city, built environments is extremely important in my architectural point of view, but also as a living.

- My thesis concerns with directly architecture centers and examines them in the context of architecture- public dialogue. It can be reachable within the WA website both from my page and theaory and issue pages.
