Design Project 3 - Valley Street Theatre

Site Visit in the Baakens Valley.





A View over the two proposed sites from Fort Frederick.


The starting point for the project is analyzing the sites to select the most appropriate one, based on the program, orientation, topography and the basic conceptual idea.




Design Development - from analysing the site and exploring the question of what is theatre and what would be an appropriate architecture to express the nature of the thing...Site A was chosen for the potential to create an 'entrance plaza' on the street and the sloped site allows for deep volumes of space.


Proposed Floor Plan -


Section and 3-D development
