U-Lab
CULTURAL HUB FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY
UST LABINSK. RUSSIA
A derelict and abandoned industrial plot in the middle of the small city of Ust-Labinsk is to be transformed into a cultural cluster for the local community incorporating a diverse collection of programs ranging from sports, culture, events and food & beverage.
The project envisions the urban regeneration of the area to transform it into culture hub, a reinterpretation of the social condenser, readapted to a semirural condition. The layout is composed of a collection of pavilions that gravitate around four courtyards which are interconnected by a pedestrian axis. Each of the courtyards has its own character and materiality enhancing a specific use of the space and outdoor programming, (skatepark, event lawn, eating grove, or sunken sport field) . The barn-shaped pavilions relate to the rural architecture of the area and they provide shelter for the different indoor programs by the variety of shapes and sizes.
