commARCH (Commercial Architecture), January/February 2020
A Space for Gathering Ive done very little private work I just feel that if youre doing something for one person it just doesnt feel right You want your architectural work to be out there in the public and people enjoying it So most of my work has been with libraries and commercial work Ive done a lot of spaces for institutional clients colleges and universities classrooms and such And I think the one thing about this project is its really a space about gathering about bringing an audience together all in the community with one group to see whats going on stage So its one of the most enjoyable types of projects to work on because thousands of people are going to benefit from being in that space commARCH 76 A Space for Connecting There are 2000 years of architectural history from the Greeks and their theaters that come to today with all of our electronics and technology But its still the intimacy of an audience interacting with an actor or musician on stage Beyond all the architecture its that connection that really has to be made concrete The idea that that connection with the audience to that performer on stage is something that doesnt happen in any other situation other than the theater or performing arts center And its a place where we can connect with our fellow human being both in the audience as well as on stage and learn from them as we experience the joy of being together
