The Nashville Ballet
Spring 2024- Collaborative- Submission for the AISC Steel Design Competition
The Nashville Ballet, currently located in a neighborhood in West Nashville, is home to two dance companies, as well as a school for all ages. While they hold some performances locally, many of their shows take place in downtown Nashville at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC). In hopes of further participating in the rise of the arts in Nashville, The Nashville Ballet wishes to be relocated to a more culturally relevant site downtown. Based on the company's community-based goals, this design for The Nashville Ballet's relocation invites everyone to participate in and experience dance. Encouraging unlikely connections between locals, dancers, shop workers, etc., this design represents architecture as dance itself.
