Four Black Boxes and a Beacon: A Theater for Roanoke, Virginia

A proposition for a theater in Roanoke, Virginia is the vehicle for the exploration of architectural ideas on space, form, materiality, and atmosphere. The thesis developed through a series of models and drawings that studied oppositions in mass, scale, transparency, opacity, and most importantly, light vs. dark and day vs. night.
