The formal strategy consists of four masses placed above the site, two on each side, which help define the perimeters of the outdoor theater space below along the ground plane. Below this ground plane is a two level parking garage, who's column grid extends up through the ground and provides the structural support for the elevated masses. This linear presence becomes a wire above ground and takes on a more aggressive role as it moves higher past the masses, bends and wraps around their boundaries, eventually tying one side of the project to the other. As the wires impose their force onto the forms, a fifth mass was introduced into the center of the wires. The intention here was to present an element that could further exploit the implied force of tension, causing the masses to convey the illusion of objects in collapse.
