DeďŹ ne creating an artistic identity through the production of new culture Define is the creation of an artistic identity through the means of architecture. A typological collage of buildings surrounds the proposed site. The addition of a new typology must produce a culture, in order to produce clarity in the site. The process begins with a formal separation from the context. The present rectilinear forms of the site are sheared and skinned with layers of foreign materivals. The envelope allows natural light to enter the spaces while dis-joining the
public’s connection with the unrelated surroundings. A layer of glass seemingly isolates the building from its surroundings. The building provides spaces for the enjoyment and creation of the arts. Rehearsal spaces, workshops and offices provide spaces for creation, while a theatre, gallery and event space provide spaces for experience.
