A technique of consecutively overlapping a square with a twist of 5 degrees was employed to achieve the form of the performance space. This creates a visually stunning and dynamic space and provides functional benefits, such as improved acoustics and visibility. Additionally, this design was inspired by the inner courtyard of the Mission Inn in Riverside California.
