Spring 2023
A currently vacant lot in the heart of Kansas City at Broadway Blvd. and 18th Street is the perfect location for a cultural and arts center that will reflect the history of the Crossroads Arts District while fostering active learning and education programs.
The form of the arts center is focused on creating two distinct spaces based on program. The northernmost wing hosts galleries, a theater, learning spaces, a cafe, and administrative offices. The southern wing hosts the set design program, with a design and fabrication lab overlooking a wood shop connected to a set building area. The two wings are connected by a sky bridge. The space left between the forms is activated as a secondary plaza where large operable doors open up the learning space to the outdoors.
In addition to the building itself, the site contains an outdoor amphitheater for movie screenings. The parking lot sits above the amphitheater where a row of cars can get a drive-in movie experience. A wide array of sustainability systems are also present, such as photovoltaic panels, permeable surfaces, and passive stack ventilation.
