Project context & references

An identity for a performing-arts campus

Nine rooms hold many artistic tempos while one centre remains visibly live.

Let each room differ without losing the whole.

Setting
A performing-arts campus moving from rehearsal and setup to audience arrival and the empty stage after release.
Value
Difference held inside a recognisable shared structure.
Design approach
A modular opening with one dominant live frame and a smaller second room.
