Research: Tourist information centre postjna

To understand more about tourist centre I did some research on different tourist information centres. The tourist information centre of Postojna captured my attention because of its design which has similarities with what I intend to do. The design is composed of a geometrical and simple rooftop supported by a see through main building.


TCI Postojna

The tourist information centre also known as TCI Postojna, is located in the south of Postojna in Solvenia. The centre is located near the main road, which leads to the main attractions of the city which are the Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle (studiostratum, 2015). The design idea shows how the space and movement in what was an old gas station can be used. It includes a park near the entrance where people can sit and relax, leading to a rest area with parking for 10 cars. The building is made of cross laminated timber and steel, with wooden details inside and out (Architectuul, 2023).




The TIC building has two different parts. The first part is the see-through commercial gallery area where tourists can get information and see exhibits from both inside and outside. The second part is the visitor services area which includes restrooms and diaper-changing facilities and is separate from the gallery.
The central space that goes from the front of the building to the roof, and sign is a focal attractor, using its design to efficiently combine different purposes into a distinctive architectural form. The building is constructed using sustainable materials, form, and orientation in accordance with sustainable construction principles (Architizer, 2015).

    This is good up to a point and that point is where you find links to what you are doing here - I think this is a good example to use, but the point of research is considering how this inspires/changes/develops or reaffirms your design idea.

    I've just re-checked this post and there is more evidence of using AI to generate parts of this text. We talked to you about this at the end of last term. If you submit this in its current form, it could be an Academic Offence and if proven, may prevent or delay your progression to University.

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds. They   provides a space where people of differing religious beliefs can spend time in contemplation or prayer  (Center for Architecture, 2023) .  These spaces promote diversity and unity through shared values and interfaith harmony. They provide a neutral setting for worship, dialogue, and community-building, contributing to inclusivity. The significance of these centres in promoting inclusivity and diversity lies in their celebration of diverse religious traditions and encouragement of interaction among different faiths. They also foster open dialogue to break down cultural and religious barriers through shared spaces and activities, as well as promote the idea that diversity is an asset by providing a space where all faiths are respected  (KAICIID, 2020).  Understanding diverse cultural and rel...

Final major project: Form and function

       The primary function of my project is to allow children to have a good time outside in a safe and sustainable place. Creating spaces that are in harmony with the environment, using eco-friendly materials, and promoting practices that help preserve our natural resources  Sustainable Playground I am creating this playground because in my city (Kitwe, Zambia) we have plenty of parks but people do not use them as they are not user-friendly and as a result they are not safe or maintained. The playground is located near city centre, where the vegetation is dense and will allow the users to have fresh air. Having a sustainable playground in Kitwe will allow the children of the community to engage together in a safe environment.          Reference         s.c, C.I.-S.
