| The Parramatta River plays an important role in Parramatta, joining heritage and modern buildings together. This proposal attempts to reinsert this notion into the theatre complex, with a long porous 'backbone' linking the three solid boxes (which houses the theatres and library). |
 |
| Buildings of different heights and uses are clustered into the city, creating a sense of fragmentation. The openings in the proposal's ‘backbone' are of different sizes, bringing this sense further into the interior of the building. |
 |
| Large Theatre, Playhouse and Restaurant occupy each of the solid boxes. |
 |
| A long ramp in the 'backbone' not only takes one gradually from one floor to another, it also introduces a sculptural element to the longitudinal space. |
 |
| The Parramatta Music Theatre is located by the river and next to a park. |
 |
| The 'boxes' are oriented towards Church Street (commercial street) to attract more public attention |
 |
| The restaurant and music store are located separately from the two theatres so that the public can enjoy these facilities even when there are no performances. |
