of the facility, and the needed spaces for the propose development.

Experiential approach of the design will only be focused on the perceivable basis

of learning specifically in terms of the spatial qualities that could be established

architecturally. The research cannot guarantee to fully solve the problems in relation to

cultural aspects or sectors. Moreover, the proposal excludes the preparation of cost

estimates, structural analysis that includes electrical, mechanical, sanitary, structural

computations of building loads, structural system, and other non-related architectural

discipline.

In the present time where the effects of globalization are in its great prosperity,

and as mass culture continues to flourish, there is a need for a facility that will tackle,

people empowerment, understanding the diversity of the nation. The creation of a multi-

cultural complex . Moreover, the development will seek to innovate the proposed
facilities on the basis of involving socio-cultural aspects of the users on the spatial
