Concept and Early Design

After all of the findings and analysis, I decide my concept to relate the existing environment with my design. Since, i choose my site exactly under the story bridge, i try to relate my feelings underneath the bridge and the shape of theater.

From the left elevation of the story bridge, I aware that the shape of the cliff and the bridge (The yellow area which i marked) are having an angle that giving me the essence of an opened shell.

My research in the seating plan of general open air theater are also have a shape of shell (The green area). That is the reason that i choose that my basic shape will be a shell.

Seashell is used as a protective layer. And also it has various functions and even it used for cultural function in some tribes.

After relating the concept, the function, and the shape. I got an idea of making an open theater which imitate the shape of a shell, and combining the existing elements with the technology.

I tried to make 2 models of open air theater. The first one is an open theater with no cover on top of it, and the second is having the cover above the seating plan. However, i am still not satisfied with this design and i will try to combine both design into my new design, and take my early design as findings.
