The project involves designing a dance center located within Nicosia city walls. Inspiration is drawn from Chipperfield's use of simple grids, symmetries, and layouts. Concept development studies distorted forms to represent movement. Plans include 9 dance workshops over 3 floors with different dance types separated by color. Green is for team dances, blue for official/technical areas, yellow for individual dances, and red for paired dances. Elevations and perspectives of the final design are presented.

Dance
Dance is a performing art form
consisting of purposefully
selected sequences of human
movement. This movement has
aesthetic and symbolic value,
and is acknowledged as dance
by performers and observers
within a particular culture.

9. Inspiration
Chipperfield's buildings cannot be defined
by following a particular style, David
Chipperfield uses simple grids, symmetries
and layout as an element of classic
elegance. unlike other contemporary
architects, it is known for its aesthetic
purity in buildings. The point inspired by
chipperfield in this project is the study of
the movement concept with a certain
repetition and symmetry.
