Idea projektu

Popis projektu

When designing the amphitheater,I found the theater is strongly design , tried to preserve the theater and the stage as much as possible To reduce the cost of demolition and benefit from existing construction.. , the use of symmetrical shapes around different axes forms buildings with strong design and Complex shapes which give intertwined block and each block throws its shadow over the adjacent mass to create shaded areas and sunny areas . It`s a technique widely used in the Arab regions called solar breakers where it is not desirable to use flat surfaces in hot areas, especially flat roofs because it is exposed to direct sunlight its also help to give the blocks different heights to take advantage of shadows and keep away from flat roofs

I used purely geometric lines in my design and manipulated the angle to form it , put the theater on the entrance axis of the building and added new units with multiple functions like gallery and Multi-purpose hall ,Celebration hall ,... i come up with different solutions, including making the design a single block and changing the stairs location to the audience , and among them include designing different units on the site while keeping the old design as it is .
