The idea of transforming the ICC into a place for art, culture and innovation sounds promising, but the challenges are enormous. A recently announced competition is intended to bring solutions, but skepticism among experts remains. A simple competition alone may not be enough to breathe new life into this historic building and turn it into a center of creativity and inspiration. The future of the ICC is not just a question of architecture, but also a question of change and renewal. It requires not only vision, but also wisdom and creativity to awaken from this deep sleep and give the ICC a new meaning that does justice to its historical significance. It remains a fascinating challenge that requires wisdom and creativity to shape a vibrant future for this architectural jewel.
