Life Is The Greatest Performance Of Time

This center for art and performance is an opportunity to experience time in material and culture. In an area of Australia that has witnessed gentrification, the facility is a bridge between cultures. For the aborigines who have a predominantly oral history, the building is a host for life through their unique display of art, stories, and history. The copper facade and interior allows guests to age with the space and its inhabitants. Life is displayed and performed here to be a reminder for the value of time and humanity.

Transparent panels around the site model that showcase the Energy, Social, Natural, and Regulatory conditions of the site.

I lead the development of the Regulatory panel (Far Left) which reveals codes for height restrictions and standards, fire exits, and maximum guest capacity per level for the street and surrounding area.
