5. Access under the theater
This access is related with the short and regional distances
and with the parking. The theater cantilever generate an
external cover space between the taxi stop and the
entrance.
The access is itself one light entrance which suply
orientation in the interior.
Light guide the user in anytime.
Inside- Outside Relation
In any underground building, light is very important so that
we can percibe the space. In this case, becouse it is a
public building and becouse of its use, light has been
considered the main point of the project. We start with an
underground volume in which we have to enter both
phisically and with light. The way we enter this volume is
always tangential, subtle, through cracks and tears, like we
wanted to take a glance inside.

Inside - Outside Relation
6. When someone seeks, then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always
thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means:
being free, being open, having no goal.
Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

Introducing the ‘crack’ element, we achieve two
goals. On one hand, the space over the crack
becomes a preamble for the access, an
intermediate relation space with the outside.
On the other hand, under the crack the space
squeeze. We can notice a central area where it is
the main services and two flow zones which work as
two filters. The former direct the arrival passangers
back to the station, the latter, where the controls
are, isolate the only travellers hall from the main hall.
We have deeply studied the users flows and we
have adapted the design to this flows, so that we
can have very clear and direct itineraries. We have
start since a central space for designing those
itineraries. This is the center of the project and all
walks flow around.

The different rooms or project environments, do not communicate
through doors, hallways and windows but it is the very air and light
that function as space connecting. No splits. Section strategies are
used to devide the different environments, without the user ceases
to perceive the exchanger as a whole and be part of that.
Light is used with a double intentionality. On one side, it becomes
the relationship with the outside. We generate some dinamic light
openings that insinuate the city movement is going up. In the other
hand, we used light to stimulate the orientation, Light openings
always open the same direction, to the south-southwest.

A large roof provides spacial unit. This roof, that
folds itself in response to the surrounding montains,
collects rainwater and generates its own energy
through the use of solas panels.
It is worth mentioning the structure design that
allows no constraints in the user flows.

Integrated design
A single multi-functional community building, benefitting from integrated
and flexible space planning. Each function has been designed to support
and integrate with the other functions within the building whilst retaining
the independency required to function in their own right.
Flexible construction
A building designed to meet the future requirements of the Southborough
residents, with clear span structures allowing volumes to be reconfigured to
meet future demands and building requirements.
