AVGC Centre - An infrastructure for digital production, collaboration, and creative economies

Overview The AVGC Centre is a proposed architectural hub for Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) industries. The project explores how spatial design can support emerging digital production workflows, collaborative creative environments, and public engagement with media-making processes. The design responds to the growing intersection between architecture and digital culture, positioning the building as both a production facility and an accessible cultural interface. The café and amphitheatre are integrated to create a layered recreational environment that activates both the ground plane and upper levels. Located beneath the amphitheatre, the café establishes a strong sectional relationship, generating visual connections and spatial interaction between the two programs. The design expresses fluidity through receding floor plates and a diverging plan, generating a sense of movement in both plan and section. As users move through the building, shifting geometry reveals changing perspectives and creates a dynamic spatial experience. Open, interconnected spaces encourage interaction and collaboration, reflecting the evolving nature of gaming, animation, and digital storytelling. The amphitheatre functions as an informal gathering space for users throughout the day while also accommodating events, presentations, and performances. Together, these spaces create a dynamic social node that blurs the boundary between leisure, community engagement, and cultural activity.
