An exploration for a hill-town cultural centre: the programme — auditorium, museum, information block, guest houses and parking — is broken into smaller volumes that step with the contour, so the centre reads as a terraced public landscape rather than a single object.

Outdoor stairs and terraces connect the blocks directly, letting the route itself become the gathering space on festival days.
