Much of the traditional/experimental problem is dealt with
via the program: a 1,200-seat concert hall, a 400-seat theater,
two studios (3,500 s.f. and 2,500 s.f.) - as well as artist-in-residence
suites, rehearsal and support spaces - help to demarcate the
range and flexibility of performance spaces. Taking these
requirements as a starting point, the architect created a
sequence from the entrance
on the north (concert hall) to the south (studios and theater),
each contained within a unified mass that also keeps each
space distinct. From the outside this mass gives the project
its primary image, the hull-like,
wood-clad object visible behind the large, transparent exterior
wall, similar to Richard Rogers's Bordeaux
Law Courts.
