Concept

The theatre is designed to represent the multiple layers or pieces that are involved in creating music. By constructing the theatre underground the occupant is unable to see the building as a whole. Leaving only pieces of the theatre protruding through the ground visible. At specific key points through out the site, there are windows that view into the underground theatre, giving the occupant the connection between the pieces and the whole.
