    Aufgabe
    The Cyprus Cultural Foundation was created in 2005 by a decision of the Council of Ministers and tasked with the creation of a Cyprus Cultural Centre in Nicosia, the capital of the Republic of Cyprus. The Cultural Centre will provide a focal point for the island¡¯s performing arts, showcasing national and international performances of music, dance, opera, musical theatre and the spoken word. The foundation is launching an international architectural competition in October 2006. The Cultural Centre will be open by 2010.

    The Centre is located close to the Presidential Palace and the Legislature, in an area that has been designated as a major cultural zone. The site is adjacent to the proposed new House of Representatives, the new State Art Gallery, the site of the new Cyprus State Theatre, and old and new government buildings. The district is at the center of the new city, creating an additional focal point for the Capital, outside the historic Venetian city walls.

    The Cyprus Cultural Centre will be one of the most significant new works of architecture in Nicosia: a national venue for the performing arts that will have a transformational impact upon cultural provision in Nicosia, in Cyprus within the wider multinational context of the European Union and beyond. It will add a much needed dimension to the civic life of the city: a building that combines beauty with function; that has a sense of presence and occasion; but that is, above all, a human resource, a forum for the people of Cyprus. In the context of the regeneration and revitalisation of Nicosia, the building and its environs will become the focal point for the life of the area and a principal tourist destination in Cyprus. It is intended that the building will become an important new landmark and that it will help to establish the design standards which correspond to the high aspirations for the City and Country as a whole.
    The projected final construction cost for the project is estimated not to exceed 80 million EUR. The main performance space will be a 1 350 - 1 400 seat multi-purpose auditorium suitable for symphonic music, dance, opera and musicals; the smaller hall will contain approximately 500 seats and will be suitable for chamber music, dance, jazz, and world music; and the external space will be suitable for larger scale events, providing for audiences up to 2 000. The Centre will also contain spaces suitable for educational activities, exhibitions and informal performance, and be capable, when appropriate, of serving conferences and public events.
