Dance Palace by UNStudio

Dutch architects UNStudio have won a competition to design a dance theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Clad in triangular panels of varying opacity, the building will be situated on a new square in the historic centre of the city. The two horseshoe-shaped auditoriums will have a combined capacity of 1,300. “An essential requirement when we were designing the auditorium was to make it possible to see the dancer’s feet from every seat in the hall at all times, no matter where the performer was positioned on the stage,” explains Ben van Berkel of UNStudio.
