NATIONAL IDEAS COMPETITION

the project idea is developed on the trace of a dialectic between the polyvalent theatre conceived as cultural production machine and instrument and the outdoor cavea, social arena and square, as its antipole.

the indoor auditorium is a space cave but full, that can be under the gound level, while the urban piazza is an open and empty space, as scene of the city life.

theatre and square are connected in a single structure as different lenses of the same perceptive mechanism: the one of the public located in a single place and turned to the scene.

the underground auditorium is facing towards the castrense and the seaside while the square-arena is the auditorium coverage.

the building with its roof esplanade and outdoor cinema turns towards the historic centre, the castle, watching over form its 7 to 8 meters, and making visible historic and urban link between the polyvalent theatre structure and the city.

thanks to its visual, material and geographic features, the theatre becomes the door of the city.

It stands as an  elevated public square walkable by citizens and tourists, that will conquer a virtual and physical landscape dimension in a perceptive-visual connection with the built city.
