A 45,000 m² cultural complex with sweeping concrete shells housing galleries, theaters, and public plazas.
The Nova Cultural Center explores the expressive potential of thin-shell concrete structures. Three interlocking hyperbolic paraboloid shells create column-free exhibition spaces spanning up to 85m. The geometry was developed through parametric optimization balancing structural efficiency, daylighting, and acoustic performance.
