the design of the genexis theater rises to the challenge of an extremely difficult site,
and succeeds through a cohesive amalgamation of highly technical solutions and
innovation design. the result is a composite work of art and technology
that transcends the site, and raises the bar for architectural and audio-visual
system design for a performing arts venue.
the theater's feature include 560 adjustable seats that are retractable to create a thrust
stage, and yet movable in multiple directions. the use of 400,000 timber beads line
the internally curved walls of an ovoid space with an acoustic solution reducing
the echo to minimum.
