Idea: dance studio freedom use of glass
Music events and teaching Scenic arts High building The Gasteig is a cultural and educational centre situated near the Isar River in Munich which not only hosts the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, but also the Munich Academy of Music and Theatre, theMĂźnchner Volkshochschule and the MĂźnchner Stadtbibliothek.
Gasteig
Following the art and culture movement that take place in the mentioned centre, I thought that it will be the perfect location for adding a missing art-field and therefore building a Dance Studio. Furthermore, a huge amount of the current dance academies are not appropriate for dancing. Most of them apart from being too dark are also too small or with a bad distribution. A dancer needs a space in which he or she feels free, a space where he or she can have the sense of spaciousness so that he/she will expand and expose better his/her movements. If the space where a dancer is performing is oppressing him/her, even unconsciously, it will be harder for him/her to express and to feel the connection with dance. That is why avoiding the existing shape of most of the dance halls (square shaped, lowceilings, not many windows, etc.) was the main point of the project. Curves, rounded-construction and organic-shapes are used in order to fit the dancers’ movement and the concept of freedom. Likewise, glass is the main material used all over the building which provides not only natural lightning through every corner but also a nice view of Munich as the Studio is situated in the top of the tall Gasteig.

without the need of curving it. Different examples of buildings using the mentioned pattern method had been useful while thinking about the construction of the curved dance studio. Besides, the chosen shape for the array are triangles because is the most strong geometrical shape.
exterior
The main inspiration for the exterior construction of the building has been the greenhouses. Nevertheless, tern have played a big roll regarding the curved shapes of the building. The array works as if every single triangle were lation gave the opportunity to

interior
For the interior of the dance studio free shaped furniture and constructions had been used as inspiration. Once again, for building those curved-shapes a pattern is needed so that many little pieces can be situated next to each other as scams forming whatever shape is needed (this can be clearly appreciated in the photo at the left side of the text). Moreover, I have been searching for interiors that interact with the free space and the people.

Need to be changed: -Dimensions still too big -Entrance of the building; make it with no need to go outside (connect the Dance Studio to a rooftop exit of the Gasteig) -Not that “classical� and straight interior distribution -Think about missing and remove surplus interior areas -Close the dance hall curve

Final design
3rd design Need to be changed: -Dimensions still too big; make it for less people -Interior distribution still too “classical�, it does not fit completely the concept of freedom and movement -Change the ballet bar so that will follow the shape of the dance hall -Approach the reception to the entry, the guest has to feel comfortable Improvements: -The exit to the rooftop and the entrance to the Dance Studio is connected -Addition of a second door between both buildings to emphasise the difference between them -Elimination of useless interior areas and addition of useful ones (such as a reception) -Change to organic-shaped furniture -Rounded walls in order to end with the straightness in the interior
Improvements: -Reduced dimensions -Separated interior structures and rooms in order people to interact with them -Use of free-shaped furniture only -Rounded ballet bar that leads to more free space -Reception brought closer to the entry so that the guest will not feel small and tired when arrives -Addition of a library and media-space -Summation of furniture in the training-area where not only tools for worming-up will keep, but also will be the possibility to interplay with it

Library and media space
Cafe
An area where dancers can find diverse books, CDs and videos about dance and anatomy. A computer will be situated there so that they can check shorts, video clips... and use them as inspiration or watch their own performances or practices in order to see the errors and correct themselves.
It is a little bar where you can get from a simple coffee to a complete meal for dancers to recover their energy or guests to have some appetizer.
Changeching rooms Two diferent rooms divided by gender; both of them include toilets and showers. Moreover, own lockers will be found there as well. Free-shaped rooms are separated from the main glass-wall so that the dancers can walk, run, jump around them. The walls of these rooms will not arrive until the top of the glass-arches so that the natural light could still enter from the ceiling. Nevertheless, the walls will be high enough to give the users inside a sensation of intimal-safety.
Reception Area for receiving guests that consists on a round shaped reception with opened ceiling and a rest or waiting area formed by organic shaped sofas with nice views to the Gasteig’s rooftop garden.
Dance hall The main room of the building; here is where the dance students take their lessons. This room is situated strategically so that while you are inside you could enjoy the greatest views of the Gasteig rooftop. Moreover, is upper than the rest of the building; that is why the sensation of freedom and flying will be even bigger. The round shaped ground floor (that leads to the semicircular ballet barre) and the half cupola at the celling increase this liberty feeling. In any case, dancers need to focus a front; that is the reason the mirror is not following the round-shape. The space behind the mirror will be used for keeping the music-devices and some other useful material for dancing. In addition, between the entrance and the ballet barres will be space not only for the rest of students to watch while some of them are dancing, but also for some musicians to play live music.
Training area Space where the dancers can worm-up before and after attending the dance lessons. For stretching they can also use the mobile furniture composed by divided pieces and situated all through the “training area�. This free-shaped furniture, apart for being used to lie, sit or support us will also have wholes on it so that the material needed for warming-up can be kept there.
