Where land meets water: the Alexandria Performing Arts Center

Abstract

The fundamental premise for this project was the desire to explore one of my fascinations with "movement" of space and “movement” of structure. This was somewhat a reaction to “static” boxed structures which have pervaded our eastern cities for the last few decades, and moreover, a want to inspire life into a fixed object.

The work presented was a process of discovery, the most enlightening being that of "contrast". It became the key to achieve meaning

My original intentions combined with changes experienced over time have resulted in a building, but better, in a transformation and another new place from which to begin.
