BUILDING MAINTENANCE
A theater utilizing Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) as its primary skin material involves several key strategies
7. SUNSHADING FACADE
The translucent GFRC panels facade help reduce the direct sunlight while bring enough indirect sunlight and natural ventilation to the building.
6. STAGE ORIENTATION
The building orientation is face to the SouthWest, which gives a better opportunity to design a stage and all back stage facilities to the west side. Thus the auditorium and other functions can located in most ideal direction.
2.SOUND QUALITY
By using curved and wavy wood panel along wall and ceiling surface. It helps add the visual interest and control reverberation inside space.
By design a void under a flexible skylight, the flow of cold and hot air have adjusted the temperature throughout the public zone of the building. When the heat gains, it draw the warm air up vertically.
3.
Providing flexibility in controlling indoor climate and ambiance, offering occupants the option to enjoy open skies and fresh air while maintaining thermal comfort and energy efficiency when closed.
The intention of the design is to reduce the indoor temperature, with green relationship. It is also help captures the precipitation from rainfall, that helps improve air quality and protect from rain.

conclusion
As a Cambodian architect, I do really care of how khmer people live with their space, and their flow of living. I want to provide all of positive design feature to them with a affordable cost of living and get comfortable with the nature, the tree, the nature lighting, the air flow and the sorrunding environment. I wish all Cambodian people have their own comfortable living space and improve their quality of living.
