Competition to design a cultural center on airport grounds: Culture Window
Meeting other cultures
Every nation is identified by its monuments, traditions, or festivals as they are tangible manifestations of culture. These signatures of heritage define the place, its history, and its evolution over time. Their presence increases the popularity of the location, as a potential tourist destination.
Cultural tourism is a trend that dates back to the period of ancient Romans. The idea of traveling to new locations to learn about the culture in the region is popular, even now. The number of tourists has increased globally, with around 1.4 billion international arrivals every year.
The typical itinerary of every tourist consists of the city’s historic landmarks as stops, to experience the local heritage and culture. But covering every location is not possible due to time constraints and extreme labor involved. In many cases, people traveling for a short while or for work reasons, do not have the luxury to go sightseeing. Their travel to the region remains unsatisfactory as they are unable to take advantage of their visit.
How can the experience of local culture be delivered to every traveler that visits the city?
