CRAIG STREET THEATER
48-105 Poiesis Studio II
Professor Hal Hayes
Section Instructor Manuel Rodríguez Ladrón de Guevara
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.
