A theatre destroyed by a fire, a unique architecture workshop, a classical music festival and a creative challenge. Can architects design a structure to amplify the sound and put the music back in the theatre? LEGO Architecture Studio is helping out.
#FILLTHETHEATRE
LEGO Architecture continues its partnership with Villa Pennisi in Musica, with the launch of a new building contest aiming at helping architecture students to explore new ways of designing sustainable structures to amplify the sound in a destroyed theatre. The old Teatro Bellini of Acireale will be the centre of the new LEGO Architecture building contest at Villa Pennisi in Musica. A baroque theatre, once the heart of music and culture in the city, was destroyed by a fire in the sixties and only partially reconstructed, but because of the safety structure put in place the theatre cannot be used to play music anymore. With #FILLTHETHEATRE contest LEGO Architecture will challenge the architecture students involved in the Villa Pennisi in Musica workshop to design scale models of indoor structures that will allow the theatre to re-gain its music hall function, using the over 1,200 white and transparent bricks of the LEGO Architecture Studio set.
