A terrace for the design and a green viewing area with different points of view were considered for these three separate points.
Considering the current geometric form of the theater, it was observed that it consisted of 2 identical triangles and one larger triangle.
and a circle was formed by continuing this fragment. After the upper point of the circle is connected from the corner points of the theater, planned to built the construction with form lines drawn from the intersecting parts,
created a mark for the movable roof and terrace.
When The determined tracks and the current tracks of the theater continue, the site plan of the area appeared.
Thus, the necessary units for the theater are located in the north of the situation, while the open area and the parking area are seen in the south.
There is an exhibition area at the entrance of the area.
