The site is located in a city intersection , city major route cross over the site , a trestle in the south side. The main function of this complex building is city theater, contains one main auditorium , smaller auditorium , artist exhibition function and public cultural entertainment, etc. With my understanding, this mass will be not only a cultural container, but a park for public, will be a important node in the city.
Concepts as below: By analyzing the situation of the city intersection, the building will be an “bridge ” to link the city joint to match the urbanism relation. we also analysis the line of sight from the city axis to avoid destruction by the trestle, the building will be controlling “flat” and sinking space will be used fully . In addition, 4 important functional mass bulge out to maintain the vertical volume city image. In order to provide an open urban space for public, it will be a landform building .the landform roof garden and the sinking courtyard will be a public park, people will be lead into smoothly, cultural activity will be held in this open urban space. Below the green roof, 4 elemental mass control the flat inner space, circulation will spread around them through the flat space. Light courtyard and sinking space create multiple layer space , outside versus inside, ground versus below ground , flat space versus plot space etc. there are 2 light courtyards impenetrate into the building vertically ,people interacting upfloor and downfloor , 2 sinking courtyards impenetrate in the building horizontally, one face to public part ,the other face to staff office, creating high quality landscape.
