autoban has envisioned a scheme that cohere’s to the venue’s existing geometric shell, that orients itself to refer to the different elevations of land that surround it. the geometry of a triangle is seen throughout, extending upwards to create a dynamic 3D structure that reflects a crystalized architectural form on the floor and walls of the space, uniting horizontal and vertical surfaces; while technical functions are hidden within.
