The team responsible for developing the building design was led by Chilton (joined Stufish in January 2011) working alongside Stufish Partner Mark Fisher who led the design of the theaters innovative auditorium. Fisher was director of art for the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, and the Asian Games in Guangzhou.
