Dealing with the slope of the site came naturally from the
location of the program spaces and the desire to bury these
large volumes into the slope to bring down the mass of the
design. For example in the image at left, the 70-foot fly
space of the theater is concealed within the rectangular mass
to the right of the protruding "hull". Also, by
following the slope of the site, the entrance is limited to
one-story in height, creating expectation as one traverses
the atrium and in-between spaces
towards the views of Troy and the Hudson River at the building's
end.
