a 2,000-seat Theatre which is integrated into a commercial area via two office blocks that include 54,412 square meters of leasable office and retail space. The concept of the project is to build a powerful cultural presence expressed in dynamic volumes sculpted to project a fluid and transparent public dialogue with the cultural, commercial and residential surroundings whilst communicating the various inner forces intrinsic to the Theatre and office buildings. This composition creates a dynamic urban gathering place and icon mirroring the joy and drama emblematic of Dublin itself.
 
The Grand Canal Square Theatre is at the heart of the Grand Canal Harbour development and creates a focal point for Grand Canal Square. The architectural concept of the Theatre is based on stages: the stage of the Theatre itself, the stage of the piazza, and the stage of the multiple level Theatre lobby above the piazza. The Theatre becomes the main façade of a large public piazza that has a five star hotel and residences on one side and an office building on the other. The piazza acts as a grand outdoor lobby for the Theatre. With the dramatic Theatre elevation as a backdrop offering platforms for viewing, the piazza itself becomes a stage for civic gathering. From its rooftop terrace, the Theatre offers spectacular views out over the Dublin Harbour.
 
With their twin facades, glazed courtyards and landscaped roofs, the two office blocks offer sustainable, state of the art work environments.

Although both offices are designed in the same architectural language, each responds to its site uniquely. Two Grand Canal Square (South Block), which is adjacent to the new 2,000 seat Theatre, opens up towards the Square, while Four & Five Grand Canal Square (North Block), in conjunction with the Theatre, form a dramatic gateway to Dublin Harbour.

For the Olympics, the Oval will house a 400-metre speed-skating track and seat approximately 8,000. After the games, the building will become an international centre for sports and wellness, and thanks to its flexible design it can be used for a wide variety of sport and community uses.
 
The Oval will be the centrepiece of a major new urban waterfront neighbourhood featuring a mix of residential, commercial, and public amenity development. The new Oval neighbourhood will be a destination and meeting place offering diverse indoor and outdoor recreational activities, shopping, and services. Its memorable form, likely to become an architectural icon for the region, is also highly responsive to the diverse character of the emerging community, the streetscape, and adjacent parkland.
 
The graceful and elegant heron, the official symbol of the City of Richmond, is the inspiration for the architectural design of the Oval. The heron is celebrated in a series of feathered roof spans that tail off the edge of the building to create porches that will serve as outdoor gathering本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
