Designed for the Savannah Philharmonic Symphony, The

Savannah Conservatory of Music is a new center for music

educaon and performance experience unlike Savannah has

ever had before. The center exists as a landmark desnaon

for the city and will provide a variety of performance

facilies for the Savannah Philharmonic Symphony and other

community or vising groups.

A theatre hosts live performance; unlike a cinema or

auditorium, it is not meant only for presentaon. Its a space

where audience and performers exchange dialogue, aenon,and energy. A successful theatre supports and enhances this

exchange.

the building is a place for learning, performing, and

community gathering

the audience must feel closely linked with t he performers

and each other

the audience should be clustered around the performers,

within limits of good sighnlines and acouscal waves

the auditorium should be scaled to sustain, support, and

enhance the performance

the architecture should encourage a sense of excitement,

playfulness, and desire

A concert or recital hall are theatres for the performance

of music. Acouscal requirements shape the volume and

form of the theatre so that no amplicaon is required.

Characterisc of this theatre type is that performers and

audience share the same space- there is no architectural

separaon between stage and auditorium. In todays

modern age, live music performances are extraordinarily

varied and arent used exclusively for acousc or orchestral

music. A new hall should allow exibility for adaptable

uses such as dance, amplied music, alternave music

performance, mul-media performance, and small theatre.

13/78

Savannahs acclaimed urban design plan conceived by General

James Ogelthorpe when he laid out the city in 1733 is revered

and imitated all over the world. Each ward unit is focused

around a central public square, and the system can be easily

repeated and expanded with growth. Over me, the funcon

of Savannahs squares have changed from pragmac usessuch as farming and military gathering and training places to

spaces meant for leisure, enjoyment, and memorializaon.

At mes, the rigid grid of Savannah is unnoced due to

the widespread growth of the Live Oak trees nave to the

area, some of which are more than 100 years old. The

squares serve to break up the repeon of the grid. This

overpowering inseron of nature within the Ogelthorpes plan

provide an interesng juxtaposion between the measured

and the organic.

The Savannah Rivers history of shipping is another point of

interest. While modes of transport have changed drascally

over me, the purpose remains essenally the same.

Savannah imports goods and products from all over the

world, much of which is wasteful and unnecessary.

The original intent for the creaon of the site model was to

form a paper impression of the topography from a mold. In

reality, the results of the paper mold were unsasfactory and

the more interesng part of the process became the wae

mold used to form the paper and allow water to drain as the

paper dried.

This unexpected resulted yielded a new idea that was much

beer than the originally intended. By further exploring

possibilies with the wae mold, a new discovery was made

by shaping and inserng cut blocks into the mold. This

soluon more successfully illustrates the grided nature ofSavannah, and the adaptability of the grid to accommodate

new features.

Through the intuive acts of making, many ideas emerged

and the strongest was chosen to rene into an architecture.

The rst gesture made was to provide a public staircase

through the building linking all three levels of the site and

downtown Savannah with River street.

It was importaint to maintain the historic character of river

street in massing and materiality. The theatre, in contrast,

would be a place of surprise, delight, and intrique. These

ideas would become the driving rules and constraints for the

duraon of the project

A direcon of ow to every means of egress, leading from an occupiedspace to a nal safe

Exit must remain same size or get larger as the building occupants

At least two dierent egress paths should lead from the interior of a
