[RE]CONNECT: PERFOMING / VISUAL ART CENTRE

by Seungmin Lee

This project is aiming to connect the city[reality] and experience[fantasy] together using reflection. Not only Theatre but also Front of the house and Back of the house are playing critical role. To maximise the effect of reflection and bring city view inside to the building, faceted atrium is introduced. Specific part of workshop and rehearsal spaces are exposed to provide immersive and closer experience to the users and these scenes will be reflected onto the atrium with the city view The stage of the Grand Theatre is connected to the viewing terrace where the city view is directly projected as a background of the. Prob / Costume gallery is merged with the second viewing terrace to provide glimpse of the show. The facade offers different level of porosity to let the natural light in daytime and artificial coloured light out at night time to attract people and create fantastical mood.
