 Introduction Haydar Aliyev Cultural Centre will give the city of Baku，Azerbaijan a major new venue and a landmark building for the city．Dedicated to the former president of Azerbaijan，the Cultural Centre will house a conference hall with 3 auditoriums，a library and a museum． Site Strategies This ambitious project will play an integral role in the intellectuallife of the city．Located close to the city centre，the site will play a pivotal role in the redevelopment of Baku．The site neighbouring the Haydar Aliyev Cultural Centre is designated for residential，offices，a hotel and commercial centre．whilst the land between the Cultural Centre and the city’s main thoroughfare will become the Cultural P1aza—an outdoor piazza for the Cultural Centre as well as a welcoming space for the visitors． Design The proposal for the Haydar Aliyev Cultural Centre envisions a fluid form which emerges by the folding of the landscape’s natural topography and by the wrapping of individual functions of the Centre．Al1 functions of the Centre．together with entrances．are represented by folds in a single continuous surface．This fluid form gives an opportunity to connect the various cultural spaces whilst，at the same time，providing each element of the Centre with its own identity and privacy．As it folds inside．the skin erodes away to become an element of the interior landscape of the Cultural Centre． The museum faces out into the landscape-participating in the urban fabric of the city developing around the site．Its glass facade is slightly interrupted with the sculptural interplay between the outer skin and the ground．The interior is an extension of the natural topology of the site with the glass facade flooding the museum in natural light．The ground surface of the museum begins to fold and merges to the outer skin which allows the new extension to become part of the topography of the site，whilst ramps connect the ground floor with the mezzanine levels above． The library faces north for controlled daylight and has its own entrance on this elevation．The reading and the archive floors are stacked on top of each other，and wrapped within the folds of the outer envelope．The floors fall to each other with ramps connecting them，creating a continuous path of circulation．The library and the museum are also connected by a ramp that leads through the ground floor of the library to the first floor of the museum．Additionally,the library is connected to the conference hall via a bridge that‘flies’through the library's entrance foyer． The conference hall accommodates 3 auditoriums of difierent sizes．Its form leans into the Cultural Plaza to create the necessary inclination for the seating．All three auditoriums and their associated facilities have a direct access to the plaza．The main entrance is located in the void created by the outer skin being‘stretched’between volume of the museum and the library tower．A secondary entrance is situated on the north side of the building． Landscape The landscape emerges from the ground to merge with the building．This rippling，manifest as earth mounds，fades as it moves away from the main building to radiate like waves．The building itself is also merges into the landscape to become the Cultural Plaza-further blurring the boundary between the building and the ground．These landscape formations also direct the circulation of visitors through the building and Cultural Plaza，where outdoor activities and performances take place．      |
