BLOOM THEATRE

Revealing the inner beauty

Before starting our conceptual models, we were challenged to have some preliminary research and a precedent study. I chose the Tianjin Grand Theater because I loved the design’s origin and inspiring start. With the building sitting on the water, the architect utilized the semicircle shape to resemble a clam shape revealing its inner beauty of its pearl towards the community. I wanted to bring the idea of revealing the beauty into my design so I intentionally used the exterior perforated skin to create some anticipation as people approach Blooming Theatre and slowly revealing the different types of beauties: framed views of Monroe, performance of the theater staff, as well as the quality time they spend with each other within.
