This site analysis draws inspiration from Kevin Lynch’s work, ‘The Image of the City,’ which emphasizes the importance of understanding the perceptual qualities of urban environments. Lynch identifies key elements—nodes, paths, edges, districts, and landmarks—that shape people’s mental maps and experiences of a city. Applying Lynch’s framework to this analysis, I identify public nodes, such as parks and commercial areas, as vital social and cultural hubs. Urban paths, including sidewalks and roads, form the arteries that connect these nodes and facilitate movement throughout the city. Meanwhile, edges delineate boundaries and transitions between different urban realms, influencing perceptions of safety and comfort.

From the inception of my truss concept design, my goal was to create an immersive experience for visitors, blending the robustness of steel columns with the inherent beauty they offer when exposed. An exploration of precedents in both theaters and truss structures revealed a lack of examples where these two elements harmonized. Recognizing the potential in the visual appeal of exposed steel, I delved into numerous concept mass models to arrive at the final design presented here.

The focal point of this truss design is its dual role as both a structural and visually captivating system. Contrary to conventional notions that prioritize the performance space, I sought to elevate the importance of the "Front-of-the-House," including the lobby. By employing the distinctive form of a scissor truss and incorporating the intricate tectonics that bind this expansive structure together, I aimed to transform the truss into both a wall and a roof.

TECTONIC GESTURE MODELS

Moving to the second floor, the truss system is again oriented horizontally, but with distinct features for a fresh visitor experience. Notably, only one wall is supported by the truss structure, adjacent to the floor below. The upper section introduces an upward angle, allowing for the potential incorporation of skylights or additional natural light. This design choice not only facilitates the illusion of higher ceilings, countering the typical reduction in ceiling height with each successive story but also adds a layer of spatial dynamism to the overall theatre design.

The first level features scissor trusses positioned horizontally, complemented by towering steel beams on the adjacent side. This design creates an expansive, open floor plan, inviting various interior design installations. Beyond its structural functionality, the design also offers a unique experience for visitors entering a space dominated by these imposing yet seemingly weightless steel structures.

Despite its steel truss framework, the design defies expectations associated with industrial warehouses, challenging the conventional perception of a theatre.

In essence, the Dynamic Truss Theatre is a testament to the transformative potential of architectural innovation, challenging preconceptions and reshaping the traditional boundaries of theatrical spaces.

Post & Beam System In the pursuit of crafting a captivating experience for visitors to the Gulfport black box theatre, my design journey transitions to the enchanting simplicity of Post and Beam System. The inherent charm of this concept lies in its unassuming complexity, a manifestation of 18 substantial steel columns varying in size meticulously paired to form an H-shaped structure. The ingenious play with sizes results in deliberately lopsided configuration, standing as testament to structural ingenuity while offering truly unique interior experience. The arrangement of these columns unfolds as an artful dance, with the left side gracefully stepping down to half the height of its right-sided counterparts. This intentional asymmetry serves a dual purpose not only sculpts an interior that seemingly curves downward on one side, creating dynamic spatial quality but also contributes to a distinctive facade. The box in plan transforms into an architectural marvel where the left side reaches its zenith and converges sharply with the right at defined angle. The deliberate asymmetry and the play of perspectives within this Post and Beam System transcend the conventional space, they are greeted with an immersive environment, where the structural elements become more than supports they are sculptors of an experience. The lopsided elegance challenges preconceived notions of symmetry, inviting patrons to engage with the spatial narrative in a manner that both visually intriguing and spatially dynamic. In essence, the Asymmetric Elegance in Post and Beam Theatre redefines the notion of simplicity, transforming structural elements into visual symphony that captivates and invites exploration within the confines of its carefully orchestrated asymmetry. To the right, you will find some diagrams highlighting key design significant in this Post and Beam System. Included are plans and elevations intended to visualize spatial qualities. Pictured to the right is a vignette capturing the pronounced impact of the large structural members on those visiting the theatre. model plan w/ post hight (inches) interior roof feature second level balcony in plan roof elevation street elevation Composite System Inspired by the innovative spirit of the Writers Theatre by Studio Gang, my final design introduces a compelling Composite System, seamlessly blending the robust Post and Beam framework with the flexibility of Post Tension Wires. This amalgamation is not just an architectural fusion but conceptual evolution aimed at offering a multi-faceted experience within the Gulfport black box theatre. The Post and Beam elements form the backbone of this design, a sturdy yet elegant framework comprising expansive beams that stretch across the entirety of the space, eschewing double stories for fluid, interconnected layout. This intentional choice not only opens up the potential for diverse programmatic possibilities but also allows for an unobstructed flow, promoting an inclusive and adaptable interior environment. Building upon the legacy of Studio Gang’s Writers Theatre, the incorporation of Post Tension Wires introduces dynamic layer to the composite system. This addition not only enhances structural integrity but also facilitates the creation of outdoor walking spaces. The intertwining of these wires not only supports the structure but also serves as an opportunity for potential screening systems, transforming the theatre into a versatile canvas for artistic expression. In essence, the Composite System marries structural robustness with spatial flexibility, embodying dynamic fusion that transcends the conventional black box theatre. is testament to the potential of architectural innovation, inviting patrons to explore space that not merely venue but an immersive and ever-evolving experience. The outdoor spaces foster a connection between the interior and the surrounding environment, creating an inviting atmosphere for patrons to engage with the arts beyond the confines of traditional theatre walls. The design encapsulates the spirit of adaptability, catering to a myriad of functions, from traditional performances to experimental installations, providing a canvas for creativity and fostering sense of community engagement. cross-bracing located on the overhangs allowing for future design Bettina Boland material dimensions 1

SPATIAL PROGRAMMING DIAGRAMS

In this gesture model, the design centers around an exterior courtyard feature, creating a focal point for the building and a vibrant node for the public. The courtyard serves as a gathering space, activating the street during the day and fostering community engagement. A large lobby wraps around the courtyard, providing a welcoming entrance space that connects to the outdoor environment. Notably, the rehearsal studio is positioned at the front facade, allowing it to be visible and accessible to the public, emphasizing transparency and engagement. Both the large and small theaters are located on the first floor for convenient access for performance attendees. To facilitate ease of operations, the scene shop is strategically placed on the same level as the theaters, promoting efficient set construction and storage. Additionally, the layout separates public and private spaces, with offices and conference rooms situated on the second level. An exploded axon of the two levels illustrates the spatial relationships, emphasizing the proximity of the theaters and the overall circulation flow within the building.

STRUCTURE GESTURE STUDIES

This structure gesture builds upon the speculative model’s central courtyard concept, emphasizing transparency and engagement with the public. Structural elements interact with the courtyard, defining the space while maintaining openness. It employs scissor trusses as the primary structural element, dynamically scaled to accommodate various spatial requirements. The scissor trusses are strategically exposed as architectural features, highlighting their beauty and strength. In the lobby area, a large scissor truss runs along one side, creating a defining architectural element that enhances the spatial experience while maintaining openness and connectivity. This integration of structure and design aligns with the programming gesture’s emphasis on creating welcoming and visually engaging spaces for public interaction.

This final programmatic design with an integrated structure is a final result of the speculative model's central courtyard concept, emphasizing transparency and engagement with the public. Structural elements interact with the courtyard, defining the space while maintaining an open environment that does not feel too heavy. This integration of structure and design aligns with the programming gesture's emphasis on creating welcoming and visually engaging spaces for public interaction. Located on the first floor are both theaters and the rehearsal studio, all meant to be available to public users. Additionally on this level, you will find the 'Back of House' essentials such as the scene shop and 4 dressing rooms.

The second level of this design is quite simple yet very effective. While the first level features all of the public gathering spaces, including the courtyard, the upper level holds much of the private spaces. On level 2, one will find 7 offices, 2 conference rooms, and the costume shop. These spaces are available for a visitor to access when needed but with much intent, there is no grand stair to encourage wondering. This is ideal for a theatre during shows and for the employees who keep the building up. While viewing the floor plan below, you will notice 2 "open to below" annotations. The one found in the middle of the plan would be the large theatre, a 35' space allowing for ideal performance needs. The second 2-story space would be the lobby, with simple clerestory lighting and viewing from the office lobby.

Resilient Truss

Structure:

The scissor truss, serving as the primary structural element in the theater’s main spaces such as the lobby and the large theater, embodies exceptional resilience, particularly crucial in hurricane-prone regions. Its strength lies in the seamless transition from vertical to horizontal components, fortifying its ability to withstand the formidable forces of nature.

Steel Beams and Girders:

30’ span = 16” beam depth

Floor Joist:

12’ span = 5”-7” depth

16’-24’ span = 8”-11” depth

Steel Scissor Truss:

30’ span = 8’ depth

60’ span = 14’ depth

100’ span= 24’ depth

Cleat, Web connection will be the typical beam to column connector.

Plate, Gusset: Will make up a majority of the connections in the truss. Bolted to the members.

EXPLODED AXON: STRUCTURE

STRUCTURAL CMU WALL

The small and large theaters will be encased with a CMU wall, allowing for the versatile functions productions call for. Exterior structural members, such as beams, will be attached to the wall via steal bearing plates.

STRUCTURALPARTYWALL

Open-Web Joist: Light weight structural element, will use to support roof. The party wall, located on the north and sound side of the building, is an important structural element of this design. This wall includes a 6” Air Space, a 8” CMU Wall, and Gypsum Wall Board, along with the minor details required for construction.
