A Multi-disciplinary Theatre for Eton

Project details

Programme
Unit Unit 2
Year 3

The Multi-disciplinary Theatre building encourages the integration of the currently physically segregated departments within Eton College, with the flexible theatre space and main hall hosting interdisciplinary activities for both the Eton boys and the public. Situated between the original Eton College buildings, the top of the high street and the Thames, the timber framed building sits amongst the trees with views overlooking the river. The original and adjacent Eton College buildings and Chapel, constructed in 1440, appear to have followed the proportions of the golden rectangle heavily, appearing from the scale of the building plans to the windows. These proportions are reflected in the structure, with the timber grid-shell roof pattern being constructed from golden spirals, like those found in a sunflower head, as well as the golden ratio being used to determine the positioning and scale of the spaces within the building.
