After receiving comments from the pre-crit, we decided on a concept and also that the "forms" or ribbon elements were a good way to connect our spaces. Stacy and I have been working mostly with the resource core, but I decided to revisit the auditorium and use the forms as a way of controlling the acoustics in the space. Made of fabric and the color of my designated section, I am really pleased with the outcome and hope to have a hand-rendered version with more people soon to post. This is a view of the stage but it doesn't have the back-stage layout yet. Let me know what you think.
Curved surfaces generally don't have appropriate acoustical properties for auditoriums. The Grande movie theater is a good example here in Greensboro (dome in the lobby). Clearly your design isn't dome shaped but there is a reason for all of the weird angles and shapes we've become accustomed to seeing in theaters and auditoriums, especially if the volume is used for more than speaking (other performing arts).
