Arts and Community Centers

Multi-use cultural and community buildings this atlas records under Cultural and Institutional Buildings that do not fit specifically as a museum, library, theater, school or concert hall: the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a combined museum, library and performance venue whose own architectural significance rests on its mixed program; the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, a mixed-use cultural complex; the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center, a multidisciplinary arts and cultural center; De Vaartkapoen, a community centre in Brussels; the Garenne Lemot estate, now a public park and cultural center hosting contemporary art exhibitions; and Villa Abd-el-Tif, now the headquarters of an Algerian cultural-promotion agency. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a general-purpose arts, cultural or community center whose own description does not name one single specific institutional function (a museum collection, a library collection, a single theater stage, a single school). Does not belong here: a building whose own description names it specifically as a museum, library, school or theater; those belong on this subcategory's own group for that specific function instead.
