RELATION WITH THE CITY With the opening of the walls to receive a new theatre, the proposal emphasises and gives continuity to the existing axiality established by the gates of Naumburg. The existing buildings along the axis are kept and the fragmented stones of the removed walls are reutilized in the proposal. In this way, the entire plot becomes accessible and welcoming to the community.

The architectural choices are developed in order to achieve minimal interference with the existing built. For that, the essential elements are used to provoke curiosity about the burried object and to bring quality and character to both OVERGROUND and UNDERGROUND environments.

THEATRE AS A CATALYST
CULTURAL USE BUILDINGS X OPEN PUBLIC SPACES
Opting for an underground building, the surface becomes a new park for the city, elongating the green belt that surrounds the Civil Town. Around the new theatre a sequence of open spaces with different character is created. In front the Royal Court, a minimalist urban garden puts the existing building in evidence, along the plot, like a gradient, the green masses become denser and more private on the back.
