Student Work (2001): Red Stick Theatre

I have a hand full of student work that I really love and the Baton Rouge Theatre is one example of my favorites. The Red Stick Theatre design incorporates an exterior space that allows for pedestrian movement to its neighboring gallery, as well as, complimenting the Old State Capital Building across the street. The design combines the use of various materials including red aluminum panels and composite style glass panes surrounding a large spacious lobby adjacent to the capital building.

About four years later, the Shaw Center for the Performing Arts was built on the site. Its noted for its sophistication and innovation. It was a 2008 AIA Honor Award recipient. To learn more about the Shaw Center, check out the wesbite: http://www.shawcenter.org/content/about/
