This project involves the creation of a fully functioning theater within an extraordinary folded plate concrete shell auditorium first built in 1963. 

Structural constraints of the thin-shell structure, ineffective air handling system, and degraded surfaces and systems throughout have been adapted with a steel-plate arch, a re-conceived air handling system and further modifications that preserve and celebrate the iconic space.
