Entertainment Complex, Los Angeles, CA, USA
This project houses a 1200 seat theatre and a 500 seat theatre, an experimental performance space, an auditorium and supporting facilities. The internal performance spaces are separated from the exterior by a twin-wall construction. The external form expresses the internal functions, providing an efficient use of the space on the enclosed urban site. The external cladding is comprised of a lightweight metal cladding with a series of linked patterns and textures while also reflecting the surrounding environment and lighting. The construction system for the external envelope was devised by Newtecnic in order to make the project both economic and visually of the near-future.
