The project seeks to build a new theatre in the suburb of Saint-Denis. Responding to the unit brief of a theatre with two auditoriums, the project proposes two interconnected auditoriums inspired by the spectacle of human interaction, and the spectacle and event of going to the theatre. The project celebrates the act of going to the theatre as much as the actual performances themselves, and presents subliminally familiar forms of grand public buildings but with a new urban offering for the neighbourhood of Saint Denis the atrium of the theatre building. A destination in itself, it is open to the public daily, and forms a public thoroughfare between the north and south ends of the building, offering a space for community gathering, cafe and dining space, as well as space for free public performances and exhibitions, a space that celebrates the spectacle of human interaction.
