Design Competition, “The Ideal Theatre”
in collaboration with_Ε.Therianou_T.Velegraki_E.Aidoni_D.Gelagoti_D.Chasapi
As it is pointed out in the map, in the dense urban tissue of the city center we trace a network of existing educational and cultural activities.
Therefore in search of an urban void responding to the competition‘s standards, we picked site A, due to its relation with other educational institutes, as well as its proximity to similar art centers. Thus, an important core of culture emerges, rising from the cooperation of the artistic and educational community.

The concept of the design consist of a perpendicular movement that crosses the site through the theatre lobby. The building complex “opens up” to the community, creating public paths while at the same time preserves the privacy of rehearsal spaces. The outdoor spaces downgrade, allowing the indirect approach from the street and from the interior of the building. Three building units are being distinguished according to the use.

Following the reverse inclination than the one of the natural ground the theatre is situated on the north-west side of the site, with capacity of 400 seats. for the potential transformation of the relationship between the performers and the audience, a flexible stage has been designed. Through a mechanism of collapsible platforms it provides two different theatre types. The two-level foyer is being morphologically distinguished by a linear form and transparency at the facade. |
