Envisioned Playhouse is architectonically a multi purpose hall for events, exhibitions, stage play, and can be function as an esplanade. Originally it is Vitra Museum by Frank O.Gehry located in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The design museum houses temporary exhibitions on themes of furniture design, and Gehry’s building makes a suitable host for them - in keeping with the theme, but - once inside - supporting, not competing with, the exhibitions. The geometry of the building does not feel contrived, or particularly noticeable, as you go around the exhibitions. From the outside it does feel both those things, but it is at home among the other architectural showpieces that make up the Vitra site. I proposed to revolutionize his remarkable building and relocate it to Paris Platz ( Paris Square) in Berlin, Germany.
Envisioned Playhouse is coated with concrete and glass. The glasses that coat the building structure is not just pure see through glass you usually witness but its a color changing type of glass. Its actually glazing and surfacing material in seamless architectural sized glass and acrylic panels that has dichroic, (“di”=two, “chroic”=color) thin film technology built right into the material that actually changes color in full spectrum color shifts according to viewing angle. Certain part of actual Frank O.Gehry’s building still remains like the cross on the rooftop and the front entrance. But i closed up the entrance and made the huge sliding particle as the entrance which you need to walk in. Reason why i made it this way is to make people visualize the colors being cast on each side of the concrete wall with natural lighting. The back building is utilized as store room, toilets and changing room. Envisioned Playhouse can be used for events, festivals, exhibitions, stage plays,
concerts, and at the same time functions as an esplanade. Removeable stage can be custom built to fit the space and can be kept in the store room, removeable seats can be applied as well depends on the event situation.
The concept; imagine a huge piece of odd shaped prism that refracts light and as result we can see spectral colors and sometimes can be a substitute of mirror as certain angle the light is reflected. That is where i got the idea from and not only that i made the interior visible to public viewers its because of the idea from “ through the naked eye experience”. Have you ever wondered how the situation and atmosphere will be in a theater ? Where famous plays are showing? Or a concert ? Probably exhibitions of arts or grand events? All this which occurred usually in a structure where walls are blocking our sights and people who never had a chance to witness it can never know how it is. Why not share the experience with everyone? Viewers from the outside can only see but hardly hear as the glass is soundproof but sight seeing is more then enough like the saying “picture is worth a thousand words or picture is more then just a mere art or visualization”. The glass is also soundproof and combination of glass and concrete is good in controlling sound transmission. And the cross shaped dome above the ceiling controls sound acoustics. The idea why i made the building half concrete and half glass is because i wanted to provide certain area with shade and at the same time as the natural lighting goes through the glass it will reflect the colors on the concrete side. Colorful glasses; colors do effect our emotions, body and vision not only that, as a fact colors also effect our business & marketing, computer, science, design and art, ecology and usability.
