Amphitheater in Burkina Faso

Idea projektu

The whole area of the amphitheatr is divided into three main zones which are WORK, SHOW and LABO zone. The buildings of the zones are deployed around the complex, so that the buildings of each zone are connected by a roof, which copies the boundaries of the plot . The intention of my proposal is to create a main central space with the aim of meeting visitors and performers under trees. The construction of the buildings will be carried out from available natural materials located nearby. The overall solution is to have a pleasant, relaxing and informal impact on visitors, which is in line with the character traits of the locals. The unifying elements are the already mentioned roofing and the material used and the solution of windows and doors.

Popis projektu

The complex has two entrances, the main entrance from the south side is for visitors, the other on the opposite side of the complex serves as an entrance for service staff. Behind the main entrance there is a checkpoint on the right side, which is used for ticket sales, as an information center and a place for security check. To the left of the entrance there is a show zone, which provides food, accommodation, toilets and is used as a space for improvised performances. Directly opposite this entrance we see the work zone. The main part of the zone is the amphitheater, where performances take place. Behind the amphitheater with background for actors, which consists of an open terrace, a garage, a room for the construction and storage of stage sets, a backstage containing changing rooms, toilets, showers and a sewing workshop, meeting room with kitchenette, room for technicians, room and workshop for repairs and technical cabin for lighting fixtures. On the right side of the entrance to the complex is the labo zone. In the labo zone there are 4 educational spaces for dance, theater, music, circus and puppets, a common work space, sanitary facilities, an archive, a recording music studio, a photo studio and a video editing room. These zones copy the boundaries of the area. The buildings have different floor plans and heights because of different uses.

Technické informace

The supporting system consists of columns and walls. Columns made of unfired bricks measuring 300 x 300 mm, they should support the roof and they are at an axial distance of 4 m. The buildings are made of load-bearing walls 300 mm thick which are also made of unfired bricks. The foundation of the columns is on the feet, the foundations of the walls form the foundation strips. The roofing is supported by a lattice structure and allows air to flow in buildings. Heights of buildings range from 3 to 10 m depending on the purpose of the buildings. The filling of the door is made of bamboo wood as well as the panels filling the windows. If necessary, the panels will protect from sunlight and allow ventilation.
