After the site analysis presentation, I started looking at the parts that interested me and we discussed our thoughts with our tutor. I started out by drawing a rough site plan and just getting my ideas down on paper. This helped me organise my thoughts and after scribbling all over the Playhouse plans, I decided that I wanted my intervention to mainly focus on the front of house as the foyer is really small and impractical for the building: it is too small for a large group of people to stand in/walk though it at anyone time. I would also look at the bar and how this could be changed - having it in auditorium and facing the stage seems odd to me and slightly impractical.
After making a sketch model showing how I would use the columns around the front of the Playhouse to indicate the entrance to the theatre I made a series of quick sketches and brainstorming how I could use the columns to open the theatre up, making it both inviting and allowing easy circulation, especially after a show when everyone would be leaving at the same time.
