THEATER AND CONCERT COMPLEX «KUBAN COSSACK CHOIR»
I created this project specifically for the creative team of the renowned Kuban Cossack choir, approaching their work from an architectural perspective. As I considered their performances, I couldn't help but be reminded of the dynamic yet static nature of the Bayan musical instrument.
When I conceptualized the collective creativity of the group in physical form, I incorporated elements of statics and utilize artistic tools like rhythm to add movement and variation
Site analysis
FACADE STRUCTURE AND MATERIALS
Inspired by the work of the famous architect Santiago Calatrava, I decided to use the architect’s technique. It turned out what I expected.
Structurally difficult to implement the project was solved in the following way: L-shaped racks are rigidly fixed in two places, I also have flexible connections for stability.
The orientation of the windows along the facade varies, giving the building an unobtrusive accordion appearance, reminiscent of the original concept of the facade. The sloping sections allow daylight to be reflected and penetrate the building’s lobby.
Corten steel Weathering steel
I chose this material because of its rich, but not bright color. Moreover, the building will belong to the city, and the high resistance of the material to corrosion reduces operating costs. The facade does not need to be repainted
The theater is supposed to accommodate about 1,500 people at the same time, a gathering place was organized in front of the complex, as well as enough rest space during the intermission.
In the far wing of the complex there are artistic dressing rooms and halls for trainers.
The large concert hall is designed for 1500 seats. The small hall is located under the large one and accommodates 350 visitors. Access to the halls is carried out both from the main lobby and from the parking.
The floor of the orchestra pit is transformable, rising to the level of the stage board and acts as a stage, which can be seen in the concert hall interior design on the picture. The design of hall was chosen in traditional colors and materials of the Kuban Cossacks.
