BIBF

A pure geometric form such as a cube, is the source of design inspiration that sees in the same element the solidity of BIBF as an educational institution. However, the shape is open on the front and back to bring more light and to make space for the auditorium in the middle at the base. The skin of the building, a glass curtain with a ceramic frit pattern, highlights the technological and futuristic aspect of BIBF trough the declination of an iconic building located in one of the best sites in Bahrain on the sea. With the geometric shape of the cube and the geometric diamond patterns displayed in on the Glass Curtain Wall, the modern educational features of the financial institute is strengthened and enhanced. The pattern on the upper and lower part of the building is wider because of the offices but on the middle part it is thinner because are located the classrooms where you need less intensity of light. The colors selected are white and the ‘corporate’ grade blue color .
