As people move from space to space, they engage different aspects of the building. It's not just that it's flexible, it will make things possible that are not easily possible in a traditional building. In designing this building, we wanted whoever walks in to see and hear art happening. We want people to see the rehearsals, or watch people working on scenery or choreographing a show. It was very important to us that this building show what transpires behind the scenes.
Process is the key word here.
Too often people see works of art and they think of the product. They think of the painting on the wall or the show on the stage. They don't realize the incredible life that lies behind that product. This building is designed to reflect that process of art. I'm not going to do that anymore.
