In this regard, while the visual identity of a theatre as a local landmark has seen noteworthy evolution, the architects believed that its functional flexibility has fallen prey to standardisation, with emphasis primarily placed on its purpose as a formal venue for cultural productions. This is an archetype that has become increasingly common, as seen in examples such as the Sunac Guangzhou Grand Theatre, the Domaine de Bayssan Theatre, or Heatherwick Studio’s upcoming Hainan Performance Art Centre. Studying current takes on the theatre typology within the realm of cultural architecture will often bring forth a multitude of examples that use abstraction to convey ties to identity, culture, and the arts, with the aid of iconography or parametrically-designed envelopes meant to intrigue and awe - much like theatre itself.
On being awarded the commission for the project after a competition, OMA approached the problem as an exercise in bringing inclusivity back to the theatre Image: © Hsuan Lang Lin Photography, Courtesy of OMA The challenge was then about incorporating these ideas into a contemporary architectural intervention within a major commercial area. Along this theme, back in 2008, when OMA participated in the architectural competition for the Taipei Performing Arts Center, they first delved into an inquiry of the topology of theatre space and their inherent inclusivity. Unfortunately, this ability to resonate universally across audiences has somewhat diminished, to a degree, and the art form is now more closely associated with refinement and high culture, with its role in local communities having diverged from what it once was. The stage has endured as a platform for artists to reach out to audiences from diverse communities, and offer enlightening perspectives on the nature of the world they inhabit. From enactments of time-worn yarns to more modern reinterpretations of the art form’s essential tenets. Throughout the ages, theatre in its many forms has been a point of convergence for individuals from all walks of life.

I will Start with the design strategy I like to call the “stacking Diagram” ,developed by Rem Koolhaas in the 90th , and became the inspiration source for his former employees /partners …. Some of its former employees/partners have become the world’s leading architectural firms working today. Today OMA is considered one of the world’s most innovative architect firms. Was established in 1975 by Rem Koolhaas and partners. From eliinbar’s sketchbook 2012 OMA’s “design Strategies”įollowing the previous posts about Bjarke Ingels Group – BIG, I will show In this post, several design strategies, inspired by Rem Koolhaas.
