Furman University invites the com-munity onto their campus, and is willing to evolve to the needs of their students. Through these characteris-tics, and the fact that their performing arts center is overshadowed by their music hall, we were able to forumlate a proposal that: 1. taps into the campus plan, 2. completes the quad of ancient liberal arts around their campus entrance, 3. gives access to the under utilized woods adjacent to our site, and 4. provides necessary additions to the campus that will draw in the community (namely a reception hall, gallery for work, and a transpar-ent building that people can learn from.

Preformance ArtsTHE SITE THE BUILDINGThe site section below is cut along a main axis that runs through the campus. Furman hall, which is located on the left side of the section, was the first building on Furman’s Campus. An axis runs directly through the entrance to that building and through a number of other build-ings beyond, stretching from one side of campus to the other. We wanted to continue this axis in respect for the campus. The axis runs directly through our transparent core area and into the woods. The axis continues all the way into the woods, as the path bends directly on this axis. Therefore, when people are using the hiking and biking trails in the woods, when they are forced to make that turn, they will be looking directly down that axis, through our transparent core area, and beyond to where this beautiful canpus began.

THE THEATER THE CORE

8.7.

The FUPAC is composed of three build-ings, the main theater, the core, and the black box building. This allows for the performance art theater to act as three different buildings at times, and a single building at others. This provides spacial advantages to the building as well as an energy saving strategies. Because the FUPAC is located within a college campus it must act as more than just a theater for shows, but an educational tool for the performing arts. This is why we there are little to no finished materials in this building. The exposed materials speak with honesty about the building educating the occupants on how it was formed. This idea also speaks to the concept of transparency. We wanted this building to be one that brought the performing arts to the University. As you walk through or even by the building you would get a sense of what actual goes on inside. We also wanted the FUPAC to act as a stage itself with the campus as its audience and the forest as the backstage; making connections and blurring the boundary between all three.
