At the heart of the project are three basic principles - integrating views of the Bamiyan Valley, the Afghanistan traditional buildings (building materials, traditional houses), as well as the implementation of the Afghanistan traditional pattern. Traditional pattern, taken as the basis, forms the axis on which the building geometry is constructed. Axis are oriented and rotated to integrate the views of the Bamiyan Cliff - two it’s most important niches in it. Thus in the building are formed numerous mountain views. To strengthen this effect, the core of the building - a pattern polyhedron –is situated on the border of the slope and the slope itself so that a beautiful view immediately appeared in front of the visitors. The central core consists of a reception with skylight and beam constructions that make reference to the Afghanistan traditional skylights. The second part of the core – is the inner open courtyard (located on the slope) - traditional in spirit to the Afghanistan open courtyard spaces.

   Functional zoning of the building is divided in two parts - entertainment (exhibition, performance) more public part which will be at the top of the slope, and education (classes, research department, etc.), located on the other lower part of the building site and gradually descending in a more private garden .

The further shaping of the building is done by creating entrances (central entrance-facing the city, and entrance to the warehouse, hidden behind a wall) and view points (to the park, to the mountains), taking into account a given axis pattern. Thus was born the form of a multi-faceted complex.

The second part of the building, going down the slope, has a free geometry, inspired by traditional terraced houses of Afghanistan villages.

   Movement of culture center visitors is always organized around a central open courtyard- from which( and from the surrounding galleries) could be seen the beautiful views of the Bamyian Cliff. For the convenience of visitors there’re created two descend possibilities - ramps and stairs.

Use of not only traditional vaults but also of structures with reinforced concrete beams creates modern large spaces in the performance hall and exhibition rooms.

   The building facade solutions are based on three basic traditional principles - the use of traditional building materials, the use of traditional patterns, as well as arches- which are also traditional motifs.

Arches are used in the courtyard and in the entrance zone (where they are reminding us of Bamyian Cliff Buddha niches, as well as refering to the traditional architecture of public buildings ) - in parts of the building which are mainly oriented towards the city, to create a more impressive image. In other parts of the building, oriented to the mountains, the facades have simple rectangular openings. Apart from that , facades are covered with hinged metal panels with a traditional pattern and in the color of clay blocks. Panels make it possible for the façades to look as a monolithic object , which merges with the mountain. They also provide protective sun shading and indirect light in the exhibition rooms.

   The main building materials of the culture center are- concrete (supporting structure), clay bricks as an internal finishing material, clay blocks as an exterior finishing material ,foundation out of stones. In addition, to provide better insulation walls are thick enough and have a structure with a mineral wool insulation.

To improve the water supply in the building there is an organized collection of rainwater from all roofs . Water flows (due to a small incline of the roofs ) into the filter layers above the columns. After that it passes through the columns into the water reservoirs. Technical facilities are located in the basement under the warehouse and administration blocks. Wind energy (which allows to generate additional electricity) is used by means of the inclusion in the grid pattern on the southern and south-eastern facades (where blow mainly southern dry winds) - multi-faceted mini-windmills. Wind energy from the sun (which allows to generate additional electricity) is used due to the location of the solar panels on the south facing slopes (facing the city side) of the roof over the research center and workshop.

   Thus, is created a building that takes into account the traditions of Afghanistan, and also international modern technology. The Building – which is created as a point of attraction for locals and visitors alike.
