THE DESIGN FOR THE NEW ARTS AND THEATRE CENTRE IN SUNDSVALL MUST CREATE AN ICONIC ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARK FOR THE CITY OF SUNDSVALL, PROVIDEING A WATERFRONT PRESENCE, WHILE RESPECTING THE KULTURMAGASINET AND REESTABLISHING OR ENHANCING THE LINK BETWEEN THE STONE TOWN AND THE RIVER ESTUARY.

THE GRAND GALLERIAWE CHOSE TO ENGAGE THE KULTURMAGASINET, CREATING A SKY LIT SPACE - THE GRAND GALLERIA - THAT SPANS THE GAP BETWEEN THE NEW WITH THE OLD AND USES THE BEAUTY OF BOTH TO CREATE A MEMORABLE, LIVELY SPACE WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO ACCOMMODATE A WIDE VARIETY OF FUNCTIONS. THE GRAND GALLERIA, TRULY A STREET, CONNECTS ALL OF THE MAJOR PUBLIC FUNCTIONS AND SPACES OF THE BUILDING - THE THEATRES, FOYERS, THE RESTAURANT/CAFÉ, THE EXHIBITION SPACES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES. IT ALSO PROVIDES A SEAMLESS CONNECTION TO THE GALLERY AND FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE KULTURMAGASINET. WE SEE THE GRAND GALLERY AS A NEW LIVING-ROOM FOR ARTS COMMUNITY OF SUNDSVALL - A SPACE THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE A BRIGHT GALA OPENING ON A COLD NORTHERN WINTER NIGHT, OR OPEN OUT TO THE SURROUNDING PLAZAS AND PARKS ON WARM SUMMER EVENINGS.

ENGAGING THE CITY, LINKING TO THE WATERFRONTTHE DESIGN IS TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THE STREETS, PARKS AND PLAZAS OF THE SURROUNDING CITY AND IT MUST REESTABLISH THE HISTORIC LINKS TO THE WATERFRONT OF THE RIVER AND ESTUARY. THE GRAND GALLERIA PROVIDES THE CENTRAL SPACE THAT COLLECTS THE EXISTING URBAN PEDESTRIAN PATHS AND CONNECTS TO THE NEWLY CREATED PARKS AND WATERFRONT WALKS ALONG THE RIVER. WE DECIDED TO ENGAGE THE REQUIRED PARKING AND THE M4 MOTORWAY, INTEGRATING THEM INTO THE DESIGN SO THAT THEY WOULD BE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF THE LINK TO THE WATER, RATHER THAN BE OBSTACLES. BY CREATING A TIERED PARKING GARAGE, THAT STEPS UP TO THE LANDSCAPED OVERPASS, SPANNING THE WIDTH OF THE M4, AND LANDSCAPING THE ROOF OF THE GARAGE ITSELF, WE HAVE PROVIDED AN UNINTERRUPTED PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE WATERFRONT.

CREATING SPACES FOR COMMUNITYOUR OBJECTIVE WAS TO CREATE A DYNAMIC VARIETY OF SPACES FOR THE ARTS COMMUNITY OF SUNDSVALL. THE GRAND GALLERIA CONNECTS ALL OF THE PUBLIC SPACES AND CAN ITSELF SERVE AS AN IMPRESSIVE SPACE FOR LARGE GATHERINGS AND FUNCTIONS. BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO CREATE SMALLER SCALED SPACES THAT PROVIDE A MORE INTIMATE AND COMFORTABLE PLACE FOR SMALLER GATHERINGS AND PERFORMANCES. THE COMMUNITY FOYER IS ONE SUCH SPACE. THE COMMUNITY FOYER PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE GROUPING OF SMALLER STAGES AND THE DANCE AND DRAMA THEATRES OF THE CENTRE, BUT IT CAN ALSO HOST SMALL GATHERINGS, EVEN PERFORMANCES. THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE OPENS ONTO THE COMMUNITY FOYER, SO THAT THE FOYER CAN ITSELF CAN BECOME PART OF THE PERFORMANCE. THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE ALSO OPENS TO AN OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATRE, ENGAGING THE OUTDOORS. AT THE EAST END OF THE GRAND GALLERIA, THE RESTAURANT/CAFE PROVIDES ANOTHER SPACE FOR SMALL SCALE PERFORMANCES, WHICH IS ALSO LINKED TO THE OUTDOORS AND THE LANDSCAPED OVERPASS AND PATHWAYS TO THE WATERFRONT.

CREATING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY FOR THE ARTISTSAS THE GRAND GALLERIA LINKS ALL OF THE PUBLIC FUNCTIONS OF THE NEW ARTS AND THEATRE CENTRE, THE ARTISTS GALLERY LINKS ALL OF THE PERFORMER/ARTIST SPACES AND PROVIDES A CENTRAL SPACE WHERE THE ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS CAN INTERACT. THE ARTISTS GALLERY, A CURVING LINEAR SPACE, IS NATURALLY LIT WITH CLERESTORY WINDOWS AND ALL OF THE BACK-OF-HOUSE SPACES - DRESSING ROOMS, WORKSHOPS, MAKE-UP, ATELIERS AND THE TECHNICAL STUDIOS - OPEN ONTO THE ARTISTS GALLERY. THE ARTISTS GALLERY ALSO PROVIDES THE PATHWAY FOR SCENERY AND OTHER MATERIALS TO ALL OF THE MAJOR AUDITORIUM SPACES AND THE SMALLER STAGES AND STUDIOS.

NATURAL DAYLIGHTING

THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE NATURAL DAYLIGHTING TO ALL SPACES WITHIN THE NEW SUNDSVALL ARTS AND THEATRE CENTER WAS A KEY FACTOR INFLUENCING THE DESIGN. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BLACK-BOX THEATRES AND STORAGE SPACES, ALL SPACES ARE PROVIDED WITH ACCESS TO NATURAL DAYLIGHT, EITHER DIRECTLY OR VIA BORROWED LIGHT - FROM CLRESTORY GLAZING OR ADJACENT DAY-LIT GALLERIES. THE GRAND GALLERIA AND THE ARTISTS GALLERY ARE BOTH FLOODED WITH NATURAL LIGHT AND, AS THE CENTRAL SPINES THAT CONNECT ALL OF THE FRONT OF HOUSE AND BACK OF HOUSE SPACES, PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING NATURAL LIGHT DEEP INTO THE HEART OF THE BUILLDING.

BUILDING MATERIALS - EXTERIOR

WE SEE THE CHOICE OF THE EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS AS A KEY FACTOR IN THE ABILITY FOR THE NEW ARTS AND THEATRE CENTRE TO BECOME AN ICONIC ARCHITECTURAL SYMBOL FOR THE ARTS COMMUNITY OF SUNDSVALL, WHILE ALSO ENGAGING THE HISTORIC STONE CITY, LINKING THE OLD AND THE NEW.

THE GRAND GALLERIA - A LIGHT, AIRY, STRUCTURE OF STEEL AND GLASS, WITH COLUMNS MADE OF CLUSTERS OF LIGHT STEEL TUBES, ENGAGING A CAREFULLY DETAILED GLASS WALL.

LOW-RISE ELEMENTS IN THE LANDSCAPE - THE LOW-RISE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTISTS GALLERY AND COMMUNITY THEATRES WILL BE CLAD WITH A SMALL-SCALE MASONRY BRICK

THEATRE STAGE TOWERS - LARGER SCALE MASONRY PANELS - PRECAST OR STONE - WILL CLAD THE TALLER ELEMENTS OF THE STAGE TOWERS.

THEATRE WALL - THE TALL, ARCHED, CURVING THEATRE WALL, WHICH, ALONG WITH THE GRAND GALLERIA, SPANS THE WIDTH OF THE COMPLEX, WILL BE CLAD WITH A CAREFULLY DETAILED SYSTEM OF NATURAL-FINISH METAL PANELS, PROVIDING A CONTEMPORARY BACKDROP FOR BOTH THE HISTORIC KULTURMAGASINET AND THE NEW ARTS AND THEATRE CENTER.
