Performing Arts Center

Idea projektu

The project idea was inspired by performance art, specifically the study of ballet dancers' movements and stripping them down into lines and shapes to create the internal space, elements, and basic forms of theaters, using them as a general guideline for design, with the aim of generating a design that is characterized by dynamism.
