This is Tician's project, a cultural building designed to draw people from the High Street into the park; the building serves as a gateway, guiding visitors through the site. The building's form harmonises with the site's grid, ensuring aesthetic appeal, environmental sensitivity, and functional efficiency. Designed to captivate attention, the structure utilises high contrast in materiality and textures, drawing inspiration from the historic fortifications of the Gosport Lines. The exterior's robust appearance, which reminds of bastions, contrasts sharply with the interior's soft, light timber finishes, symbolising a journey through a forest. With its unique curves and thoughtful detailing, the structure not only tells a story of the park's past but also serves as a beacon for cultural engagement in the present and future.
Functioning as a "cultural compass," the building serves as a gateway to the park, directing visitors through its spaces. A highlight is the comprehensive gallery, showcasing rotating exhibitions by local artists every 1-2 months. This strategy ensures a continuous flow of fresh themes and styles, drawing locals to revisit the centre regularly for new cultural experiences. Flexibility is a crucial aspect, with a multi-purpose ground floor space adaptable for events, exhibitions, and presentations. The design also includes entertainment areas for community gatherings, concerts, markets, and more.
