As the sun rises, sunlight cascades through timber frames, dances off the eaves and enters the performance space, casting a radiant glow on the stage and illuminating the day. At dusk, accompanied by applause and melodic tunes, the space transforms into a lantern embedded within the lush landscape, harmonising with the vesper and the tranquil canal side.
Multiple models served diverse purposes, including testing light reflection, visualising inviting architecture, exploring structure, examining pulley systems and iterating earlier design models.
The model, constructed using materials like kraft board, plywood, translucent plastic and reflective plastic, explores the positioning and angles of the reflection panels, showcasing the intended outcome of the reflection strategy.
The building offers a unique perspective, showcasing its interior and façade simultaneously. It captures the evolving landscape, allowing observers to witness the changes alongside its structure.
This drawing emphasises the building's nighttime operation as a performing theatre and its role in illuminating the adjacent canal walk, resembling a radiant lantern.
Effectively capturing the inner structural system in an exploded axonometric drawing, the building also offers a macro perspective that showcases its exterior and site placement.
