Madison Center for Performing Arts
Senior Project (Conceptual Design)
The Madison Center for Performing Arts is a Christian based center that provides a place uniquely combining Christianity, entertainment, learning and a sense of community to all that enter. The users of this center require space to enjoy themselves and explore as well as space for learning. The users require easy accessibility to restrooms, the theater and entrances. Great deals of Simi-private spaces are required for the secondary users of the space to learn and grow within the visual and performing arts. A unique Space that provides entertainment for patrons, educational growth and expression to the youth and the discovery of hidden treasures and experiences for all. A space that provides for all this and more, functions smoothly, and blends the multiple activities together while acting as a backdrop for those activities. The consideration of important issues is pivotal for reaching their goal. One issue when planning this space is allowing for separation but not isolation in the arrangement of public, private, and semi-private spaces. Another is allowing the architecture of the building itself to speak to individuals subtly while adding a dynamic of its own to the space.
“We don’t know why any designer let alone a student would want to use this building shell and a lot of you do; but you have the best use of this space we have seen”
— Philip D. Abbott, IIDA, ASID; Interior design instructor IADT together with guest interior designer.
