The cladding surface is characterized by imagery that reflects the mission of the theatre to cultivate artistic talents. The exterior form takes inspiration from the physical shape of silk cloth folds and is expressed through a series of ten twisting folds that define the outer skin of the building. The entrances are located where the folds would touch the ground and are covered by overhanging the facade. The cladding is made of perforated aluminium panels, painted taking inspiration from the hand drawn illustrations created by the artist. In order to be able to accurately represent the illustrations on the facade, the team at Steven Chilton Architects developed a process of digitisation and mapping of each figure on the facade geometry, respecting the topology of the base surface. The substructure of the facade is composed of a structure of welded steel tubes, independent from the primary concrete structure of the floor slabs.
