Thesis Synopsis

Design Project: Performing Arts Centre

Synopsis:
Performative architecture in this thesis has looked beyond humanist practices that see body as fixed and static. The thesis has addressed the question: How the component based architecture could helped to fulfill the architecture design for Performing Arts Centre? The project has explored the particular consequences of an architecture composed of autonomous components, each acting and reacting independently but collectively performing complex behavior. The building is composed of components and all components of the building have a unique identity and individuals can be addressed independently. Each building component is different, and fits only in one place. The structure of the built form is be like a 3D puzzle where each piece fits exactly in one location. This new generation of Architecture is based on customization that builds up a completely new aesthetics. Above that the components are not only working as the structural stability for the Performing Arts Centre’s building but also embedded with different strategies that are essential for
the Performing space.
