Copenhagen Royal Theatre

-the Open Theatre-
The master plan and architectural design which act in concert with buildings as monuments in this area was pursued and it succeeds richly the historical aspect of waterfront area. We took advantage of the pier as the waterfront plaza and conduct the city’s vibrancy along the waterside and set up the theater as the contact point to the promenade. The composition of crossing the closed volume centered on the theater and the open volume of the entrance and the foyer. These two volumes are covered with the light horizontal roof. The balanced form and space set up richly with contrast of the massive volume and the light volume with a transparent feeling.
