Entry Description

The concert hall rises from below and shatters the earth fracturing the surface. The broken shards are frozen and elevated to form jagged roof lines. The design is not a tower on a hill, but rather a crowning element that creates a crescendo for all to see and experience.

Clad in Corten steel, the two theatre structures embrace the beautiful and varied rust color. They provide both a backdrop for the public spaces and glow on the hill like a piece of amber where the fossils cast inside are alive and changing with every evening’s performance.
