Back to the future #1_ tradition
The concept reinterprets the traditional “pit houses” found across Libya. These houses take advantage of the earth’s stable temperature to create a sustainable environment. At the same time, the excavation becomes the social hub of the compound.

We divert urban flow through the existing excavations found on the site

The large excavation becomes a public plaza. The small is the security -enabled access point.
The public program is distributed around the large excavation at level -1, whereas treasury spaces are located around the secondary excavation.
The soft waving surface of the volume resembles the desert dunes.
The deep horizontal louvers keep the high sun out of the building, without obstructing the panoramic views.

The offices are located within a cubic atrium building , that has a 360 degree view to Tripoli. Similarly, it is seen from a 360 degree angle, and that allows CBL to excercise its symbolic authoritative role.
