American architects have created a unique theater for Perm

Perm Opera and ballet theatre, more than a decade waiting for the move to the new building, soon to be richly rewarded for your patience. The city government finally allocated for the construction of a suitable plot, and American architecture firm wHY Architecture has developed the project. It seems that Russia is the theater will be the most modern and beautiful — such a masterpiece not even in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Founder of wHY Architecture — a native of Thailand Kalapat Astracast. He was a disciple of Japanese architect Tadao Ando the Pritzker prize, the Nobel analogue in the world of the design of buildings. The most famous work of the Bureau wHY is the building of the Art Museum in Grand rapids, Michigan, USA. It is the world's first certified LEED defining the energy and environmental efficiency.

In the description of the Perm project, the authors pointed out the main ideas of its development, which is designed not just to provide shelter, one of the best in the Urals theaters, but to solve several important tasks.

For future attractions Perm picked up a decent place — the building will be built near the Park Tatishchev and one of its facades will be out on the street and the other on the river Bank. The total area of all premises of the theatre will be 35 thousand square meters, which is only 5 thousand square meters less than the square of the Bolshoi theater before the reconstruction of 2000.

The authors of the project claim that the creation of the exterior of the building they were inspired by the dance moves and the copper color and the abundance of this metal in interior and outer decoration recalls one of the main treasures of the region's deposits of copper ore.

The old building of the Perm Opera and ballet theatre. Tchaikovsky was built in 1870. For many years the theatre demanded the overhaul, which for various reasons have been postponed. You also need to underline that in the Perm temple of the arts was the smallest among the musical theaters in the country scene, with a total area of 302 square meters.

Before I had an idea to draw architects from the United States, the city considered the option of building new large stage to the existing building. This project had a number of controversial issues, one of which was a serious risk of damage to the historic building. In this regard, from such a decision, the city fathers have been forced to abandon.

Worldwide theaters try to give an unusual, unique look. An excellent example of this tendency may become the theater, which is being built in Guangzhou city, southern China.
