Studio Block One Construction Section Environmental Design and Structural Strategy

The design consists of four main structures. The studio one block, studio two block, the corridor structure and the laboratory of movement. Strong thresholds are created as people enter and leave the previous world behind. Acoustically, the room within a room structure with built in ventilation tunnel creates a sound tight environment while having natural ventilation as a possible option. Light flood in and out subtly through the translucent concrete framed windows creates a theatrical atmosphere. Structurally, the dance studio and outside corridor is connected with isolation joints. The latter connects with the existing tram track, magnifying the difference in experience within the building.
