Multicultural experience centre aspires to create a social space that encourages a sense of belonging, coexistence, and inclusion of cultural variety through the integration of common cultural artifacts. The cultural centre induces engagement and integration between different cultural groups in borderless shared spaces.The metaphor of weaving will be used to highlight the concept of integration as it is a common practice across different cultures. The interiors influenced by weaving create a sense of familiarity and emotional connection among guests from various cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the concept of cohesion is expressed through diverse spatial qualities and textures, which create a harmonious social environment in which people of all cultures belong and cohabit. This cultural centre strives to be a beautiful place beyond what eyes can see - where people from all walks of life engage, encourage and respect cultural differences.
