Community centers or community halls are public locations where members of a community tend to gather for group activities, social support, public information, and other purposes. They may sometimes be open for the whole community or for a specialized group within the greater community.
The aim of this project is to empower and strengthen the capabilities of the village, by having a program that meets the environmental and social needs. After exploring and analyzing the different limitations that will affect our design approach, we have decided to create a community plus cultural center. There is a need of such a place in order to reach our goal and the needs of the community.
The program will be divided into different functions and spaces that are linked directly to the cultural traditions and day to day activities of the Senegalese people in such rural places.
