will attract even more creative and diverse individuals to the
neighborhood of Chelsea, New York. Located between the Highline
Elevated Park and the West Side Highway, our building is transforming
between an organic rhythm to a more rigid structure, as a way to blend
between the organic edge and the rigid grid of the west end of the site.
The building consists of four major performance theaters ranging in
scale to allow for multiple uses of performance. The theaters each
have a very distinct identity which allows for the experience from Lobby
to Theater to be unique to the user each time they return to see a new
performance. The relationship between the Theater and the School is
mixed to allow the students to be surrounded by a creative environment
that will put them on display during their course of studies. Carefully
blurring the boundaries between the school and the theaters allows for
views behind the scenes which sets a stage of a unique experience for
the students as well as the user by reversing the experience of a
traditional theater.Bryan ReitterSatoshi MatsuzakiPratt InstituteFall 2010 Hina Jamelle Studio
