Draft images for concertina book. Analysis of the city. 

The urban environment has evolved from buildings which used to be built to create a strong sense of space and connection to the outside. This sense of space can be seen in Parramatta Piazza. Design has developed with the function of creating a great design but sometimes as a monument or only for an internal function. Effective areas for circulation, gathering and meeting must be introduced in the theatre design as was in the Piazza. 

Framing of the Piazza. Shuttering of the street. Vista of the theatre.

Finished work will be uploaded.

A stage within a stage. 

West Side Story scene: Gym Mambo. A simple square room with people standing on one side and others dancing on the other. An amazing energy with people talking, dancing and walking in and out of the room. A sense of community is established. 

Parramatta. Use of curved seating and walkway in the Piazza. People can watch others. A thoroughfare and a meeting place. 

These ideas have inspired us in the creation of our stage design. We hoped to mimic these ideas in order to create an effective space.
