dc.description.abstractThe subject for this thesis is the design of a theater and amphitheater for chamber music, upon a beautiful site-- a mountain meadow. The site, context and program which serve as a starting point for the new design are based on a real site and context: that of an existing center for chamber music, situated high in the mountains, housed in the buildings of an old estate. In creating the design for the new building, it was attempted to achieve and integrate several goals: • To create spaces (a theater and an amphitheater) which would enhance the experience of (listening to) chamber music-- both visually and acoustically. • To address the functional and practical requirements for a building which is to be used as a center for the performance of music. This includes the resolution of a whole range of architectural concerns, including such issues as: structure; form; program and plan; the use of materials; public and private areas; entrance and circulation; the use of daylighting; the framing of views; an attention to human scale; and the design of a building with the consistency to 'read’ as a whole, rather as than an assemblage of parts. • To take advantage of the beautiful landscape and view from the new building site, and to attempt to integrate the form and character of the new building sensitively and gracefully onto the existing site.en
