The embassy is an assembly from 7 spatial metaphors, that capture nightlife’s diverse forms. The metaphors are developed into a wide array of spaces through research by design and reference analysis. Together they form the ‘Stadsclub’. A cultural statement preserving nightlife’s culture through it’s most valued spaces and providing a non-commercial playground for future generations.
