Located on the busy intersection of Forbes Ave and Craig Street, this intervention serves to perform for both the audience and the city. Treating the envelope façade as a fabric, the surface is shaped into a series of inhabited folds that serve the program parti of the design. The façade is based on a system of lifting and lowering the building envelope to increase the porosity of the space; lifts in the envelope reveal and connect spaces such as the café, multi-use room, and the theater itself to the general public, allowing the building to become a flexible and versatile addition to the Forbes and Craig intersection.
