DESIGN PROJECT
This project engages in an exploration of the properties of scrim material used in theater and how its application in architecture has the potential to define space through the use of light and layered screens. It aims to enhance the experience of the user by developing a deeper relationship with the surrounding context of Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia.

DIALOGUE WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS
THEATRICAL PARADOX
SHIFTING IDENTITIES
There are no set boundaries for what we consider an audience, a stage or a backstage; instead, the movement of users through these spaces allows a dynamic shift in these spatial identities. In certain areas of this project, screens overlap creating rooms thatcapture shadow and light on both sides of the user. These act as passageways or transitional spaces between the larger quadrants.
