The Global Performing Art Centre Verified listing

This is an international design competition. Looking at a lot of cities in the world; most of them are divided by water or rivers such as London, Paris or Budapest. In this experimental project, we try to explore the opportunity to reunited the city through means of activities, performance by proposing a Performance Art Centre sited in the middle of the river in which the building will be the performer to the either side of the river and as a result the building became the articulation of the river. Our aim is to dissolve boundary through negotiation and collaborate the different entities into a balance environment. Our proposed scheme will encourage mixture and reunion of the two sides of city by being a new landmark and gathering point of the city. The architecture of the Performing Arts Centre is to be a regulator between different criteria, and the constant negotiations between the opposing factors creates energy through out the site and thus the architecture we created has incorporated this very important property. The movable roofs are also responsive devices reacting to social behavior, weather, occupancy and performances. The roofs enable interactions between performance and theatrics spaces, this allow huge flexibility on performance and the exploration of new ways of performing. The movable elements celebrate the idea of using the performing arts centre as the monument of uniting national and international cultures and representing the energetic people of the cities.
