THE AMPHITHEATRE IS DESIGNED TO FULFILL AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE MULTIPLE QUALITIES OF THE CAMPUS WHILE PLAYING THE PART OF A MEMORIAL LIBRARY. THE CENTERED DESIGN WITH STEPPED LEVELS OCCUPYING BOTH THE FACADE AND THE INNER SPACE CREATE A DYNAMIC INTERACTIVE SPACE FOR INDIVIDUALS TO EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH THE INDOOR -OUTDOOR CHARACHTERSTIC THE DESIGN POSESSES.
CONCEPT
THE APPROACH TAKEN TO COME UP WITH THE FINALIZED CONCEPT INVOLED THE METHODOLOGY OF A BIGAMY AND THIS INVOLVES THE MERGING OF 2 OR MORE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL TYPOLOGIES INORDER TO FORM ONE DESIGN. THESE TYPOLOGIES ARENT RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER, WHICH WILL THEN FORCE ONE TO DEVELOP NEW DESIGNS. THE TYPOLOGIES RESPONSIBLE FOR MY CONCEPT WAS AN AMPHITHEATRE, A DOME, AND TERRACES THE FINAL RESULT IS A COMBINATION OF ALL THREE WHICH PROVIDES THE DESIGN WITH AN INTERESTING SPATIAL QUALITY WHICH POSESSES AN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR RELATIONSHIP AND IS ALSO REMINISCENT TO MIES VAN DER ROHES DESIGN APPROACH.

SPATIAL QUALITY
EACH SPACE IS CHARACTERIZED WITH THE STEPPED VOLUMES, EITHER INWARDS OR OUTWARDS, THE REGRESSION OF THE STEPPED CEILING TOWARDS THE CENTRE COMPLIMENTS THE SPACES AND CREATES A SENSE OF CONTINUITY TOWARDS THE CENTRE AND OUTDOORS.
