iThe Wyly Theater reinvents the traditional theater layout, which was more of a horizontal program layout into a vertical stacking of program elements. The “back of house” on a traditional theater is converted into the “top of house” and what was the “back of house” is now the “bottom of house.” This reinvention element is the main parti of the Wyly Theater.

Spatial Hierarchy
The theater chamber is the most important aspect of the building. It is the main attraction and is what draws people in. The backstage areas are directly connected to the theater and are an important place for the performers. The building has many other spaces that are not for visitors such as offices, rehearsal rooms, and costume shops; these spaces are important for the performers but are not as frequently visited as the lobby, café, and outdoor terrace.

Structural Diagrams
he Structure of the Wyly Center is Visible in many places from the exterior of the building. Designed to accommodate the moving parts of the building, the structure is a reflection of the program. The use of concrete columns, concrete basement, steel truss systems, and a shear wall allow for the building to breathe as it does.

Skin Envelopes
The façade of the Wyly Theater was designed in a way that allows the building to be very versatile. The exterior glass façade around the main level can be opaque or transparent depending on what the performance requires. Panels of the façade can also be opened completely to allow people to enter and exit without going through the main lobby. This allows the building to breathe, letting air, light and people through.

Light Light The skin of the building is unique in that it creates patterns in the shadows projected inside. The skin around the façade of the theater space allows for natural light to penetrate in the theater space. There is also an option to block out light as well. The diagram at the top shows how natural light filters in though the theater.
