The project concerns itself with the development of an urban strategy for a substantial vacant site in the outskirts of the city of Liverpool, near Wavertree Technology Park and bordering the vacant Littlewoods building, to design a culture and congress centre. The 24,000-square-meter public forum will be provided by one of the Liverpool-based, top-20 Companies in the North West of England.

The design of the public forum draws on the façade design of <the ideal city> and the composition of the buildings surrounding the plaza.

Since a project of this scale is considered to have a certain impact on the urban structure, a theoretical study was carried out in the research stage of the site on the scale of urban design, and the design of the whole city of Liverpool was considered on the basis of the theory of the “multilayered city” and “complementary space” proposed by Ungers in this project.

Upon completion, the venue will become an important part of the public functions of the surrounding community and will be able to reach out to and comfort suburban residents with theatre productions and cultural activities.
