DESIGN SCHEME DESIGN STRATEGIES

“RELATIVITY”

The project is a multi-art space providing 3 multipurpose theatres with each capacity of 60 and an art gallery. It will also be a part of serving of The Domain with bookshops, cafe and rooftop bars.

The design was inspired by M.C. Escher’s drawing “Relativity”, a space which could allocate people living under different gravity fields. He used numerous stairs and arches to create sense of lost but in harmony. Futher referencing to the site as a part of the historical location.

Brick arches and enclosed courtyards could be commonly seen around the site. The concept of the design would be getting lost to explore between arches and courtyard.

DESIGN STRATEGY

The design started with a grid of 2500 width which would be ideal for a public corridor.

The strategy started with seperating the theatre spaces into smaller blocks, using the feature of their sound proofing walls to block out areas with louder noise.

REGULAR -USED IN COMMON WALLS

STRETCHED / PUNCTURED -USED IN WALLS BETWEEN PUBLIC AREAS TO REMAIN VISUAL CONNECTION -USED IN PARAPETS

STRETCHED / EXTRUDED -USED IN EXTERIOR WALLS OF PERFORMANCE SPACES TO CREATE VISUAL HIERARCHY TO REGULAR WALLS

CONCAVE THE FRONT ENTRANCE IS DESIGNED CONCAVE TO STAND OUT FROM REGULAR WALLS. IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE ENTRANCE AS TO REFLECT NOISE FROM HOSPITAL ROAD AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDING A SHIFT IN NATURAL LIGHTING AS TO INDICATES THE ENTRANCE.

THE SIDE ENTRANCE IS DESIGNED TO DIVIDE TRAFFIC INTO UG/F AND LG/F IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO CREATE A SENSE OF IMMERSION INTO THE LG GALLERY

ENTRANCE THRESHOLDS
