The proposed runner-up proposal for Bamiyan Cultural Centre (competition by UNESCO and Ministry of Information and Culture of Afghanistan), designed by Ahmet Balkan Architects, is an open landscape building with the idea of unity enhanced by simplicity and silence.
The Bamiyan Cultural Centre is a space for exhibitions and training, that celebrates the wonderful history of Afghanistan, its heritage, local art and craft, knowledge and techniques. UNESCO, in association with the the Afghan Ministry of Information and Culture and the Republic of Korea hosted an architectural competition, the idea behind which is that culture also makes a valuable contribution to socio -economic development, and in the case of Bamiyan, it will pave the way towards future tourism, and encourage the participation of local communities, in not only protecting and preserving their own cultural heritage, but also sharing it.
