Different materials and technological innovations in the service of form
The structure houses a training institute that allows students to explore the link between science and art through the study of music, dance and graphics. The building houses a concert hall for 1200 people, a theater with 400 seats in the stalls, two studios and a stage for dance. Next to it stands a block adjacent to a radio station, editing rooms and accommodation for students. The hall is also used for conducting various activities, integration is an area of \u200b\u200beducational and social. The building, which is going to superimpose on the back slope of the hill, has a simple rectangular perimeter, mostly glass, but contains within it a core covered with wood, which is located inside the main hall, whose interior is very rich, including wood paneling, coatings that enhance the acoustics and a spectacular system of marquees to cover the spotlight ceiling. On the main facade of a "pod" contains the scenes of hanging room.
addition to the application of technological systems carried out with extreme discretion, this has the advantage of diversification of forms and materials to achieve a minimalist and refined. Great importance is also given to the foyer and corridors, which here take on multi-functional value. In conclusion a highly functional design with an aesthetic that does not go unnoticed.
