Project Brief

To produce an entry for the 8th OISTAT (International Organisation of Scenographers, Technicians and Theatre Architects)Theatre Architecture Competition 2011. Refer to http://www.oistat.org and http://stream.massey.ac.nz for further information.

Project Requirements

_Evidence of research and of making in respon se to this; evidence of a process, a body of work developed from week 1 to final week is to be displayed at your desk during the project.

_Images + plans, sections or sectional perspectives, and details [parti plans, sections/ scaled drawings @ 1:500,200,100,50,20,5,1] of your intervention in Prague Crossroads, formerly St Anna’s Church, Prague.

_Establishing how the intervention structures the building in relation to the spatial idea and program; inhabitation, intention, how bodies engage with the space.

_To be digitally archived in a concise manner and placed in the 352studio dropbox and uploaded as a PDF or Powerpoint to stream, making sure you compile to the SD file naming standards.             

Learning Objectives

_Research and investigate theatre architecture.

_Develop a spatial language into an existing site; integrating materiality, construction, structure and theoretical concerns.

_Advance an understanding of involved and varied programs and space.

_Express and present your intervention through a variety of means and media with a high level of craft and in a way which extends the spatial language in the mode of representation itself.

           

Assessment

_Richly researches; site, program, planning, performance design and spatial typologies and translate these into spatial designs.

_Makes evident a strong and cohesive design process which shows development from an initial spatial idea to a developed scheme, and through details, materiality, construction/structure, planning and program.

_Method of expression of the project, which is related to, derived from the found text, spatial idea and program, which is convincing, evocative and well crafted.

_Evidence of research and makings at your workspace in studio.
