From what little is known about new proposal by Bernard Tschumi, basically, it offers some doubts on the outer skin and more interest in the program's internal organization.
ANIMA is a cultural center that will be built in Grottammare, city in the province of Ascoli Piceno, intended to generate stronger ties between the people and the territory. Architecture intends to associate its image to the most diverse manifestations of local culture, which find expression through artistic, gastronomic and environmental means. In addition to elaborating with immense precision and originality the theme by which the interior spaces are organized, Tschumi has proposed an artifact that reworks the notion of facade as an indispensable tool with which to reconfigure space. Oscillating between the figurative and the abstract, the building reinforces the identity of the region at even its conceptual stage.
Now, after the presentation of the schematic design, the team of professionals coordinated by architect Alfonso Giancotti have begun to undertake the next stages of the design process of ANIMA, whose construction is intended to start in approximately a year, early 2014, and expected to conclude by 2016.
