The project is a new community arts centre for the town of Kettering, OH. The existing centre is located in an old elementary school building and no longer suits the client's needs. The project requirement is to provide a design development set of the proposed structure and present a conceptually driven design to the client at the completion of the studio. The concept for the design stems from the existing use of the centre for performance art, including ballet. Thus the dynamic curve of a ribbon on a ballet slipper can be seen in the unique curvature of the building facade.
