(L) Gabriella Lindsay, ‘Fold/Unfold’. A performance theatre and dance school; ‘Fold/Unfold’ is inspired by Utzon’s Fredensborg Kunstmuseum. The work mediates the relationship between space, periphery and circulation. The sloping planes, functioning as a gallery for the Domain, are derived from a set of site lines intersecting the city grid. Slicing and folding these lines from a single sheet forms a constructed landscape. While the primary spaces are expressed in the exterior, the interior spaces encourage circulation through intersecting thresholds, glimpsing separate programs of the design. The observer traverses a continuum of sensory experiences and the building becomes a key part of the

performance itself. (R) Michelle Lee, ‘Collect. Focus. Diffuse’. ‘Collect. Focus. Diffuse’ is a collection of alternating roof archetypes defined and organised categorically across the interface of the city grid and the Domain. The three archetypes, Collect gives shelter to the passing visitor, Focus draws attention to the performer below, and Diffuse radiates light. Spaces can be defined and divided according to their programmatic needs through the use of curtains that extend from the roofs. The gentle curves and translucent qualities of the skins create a delicate layering of light, shadows, and silhouettes reflective of the interpretive and experimental experiences of dance. 2019
