“No One is Left Behind – Not Even History” is a lifelong learning center designed to reintegrate underrepresented communities: housewives, nearby special education students, and the elderly with specific focus on history. The program is housed in three main volumes: accommodation, workshops, and an auditorium. Uniquely, the accommodation block is lifted on columns, creating a museum-like open-air exhibition beneath it. These columns act as both structural and functional wet zones, clad in historical replicas. Even passersby can engage with the space. Visitors may attend workshops or talks—or simply wander through the site, designed to feel like an active archaeological discovery in progress.
