The design project will consist of a redesign building for Royce Hall at UCLA in Los Angeles. The new university building will entail approximately a total of 200,000 square feet which will include the University Auditorium [Royce Hall Auditorium], The Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA and the Royce Hall Terrace. The site and program themselves provide a remarkable canvas for investigation: the memory and history of the pre existing neoclassical building [Royce Hall]; the physical and regulatory context of the university campus and the productive constraints of the program will allow us to pursue ideas of context beyond the known specificities of site, by understanding it as a larger cultural and a social framework from where projects can cultivate and construct new physical images.
