Capstone Project Update

I have a few more ideas, and I'm refining my project a little more. I want to gear it toward performing arts, with a gallery and black box theater on the first floor, a dance school on one floor, and practice spaces for theater and music on another floor. I want to look into how I might make the walls for the practice spaces movable so they can be any size or shape and maybe serve as temporary set pieces for blocking.

In high school a good friend and I always talked about opening up a musical theater school when we were older, so I guess this is sort of a variation on that. I plan to contact my former ballet teacher and a few friends who are involved in theater for help in those areas.

The physics of movement is an underlying design concept I'm considering.

One precedent I've found is Herzog and De Meuron's Laban Center for Contemporary Dance in London.

I'm also thinking about technology and components for focuses.
