The Great Reef

Theatre | Exhibition Space | Public Realm | Gallery | Cafes | Restaurants

The Great Reef is an iconic design inspired by the colonies of coral and seaweed! The building is hosting an Opera House and two auditoriums, gallery spaces and a plethora of visitors’ attaraction. Recreational areas, restaurants, café, shops and family activities, The Great Reef is designed in the THINK NATURE approach by providing a biophilic environment that reduces stress levels, increases productivity, creativity and self-reported wellbeing.

This is a representative THINK NATURE design, emulating the natural flows of coral shapes, nurturing receptiveness and inducing euphoric states of delight and calm excitement. A perfect environment where visitors and audiences, all connect in a THINK NATURE experience. The ultimate environment for watching, learning, expanding, growing, becoming, sharing of concepts and innovating.

Instead of thinking in terms of oppositions, mind v. matter, people v. objects, production v. perception, rational v. sensorial, old v. new, difference v. repetition, our built environments include all of these in an “ecosophical” practice that considers all forms of ecology together. This includes, environmental, mental and social in a transversal design process that bypasses the traditional top-down and bottom-up approach.

A transversal approach enables us to harness the transformative power of contemporary reality. Moreover, it enables us to incorporate greater levels of complexity within built forms, allowing multiple inputs to interact simultaneously on the same plane to generate a multitude of novel forms, each with unique expressions, sensations and affects. Because such affects and sensations are conditioned by individual experience, their receptions are different in each case and therefore multiple. Thus, the environment acts as a social matrix in which built forms provide a link between individuals with different views.

THINK NATURE design includes Biophilic and Parametric principles whose essence is to increase the users enjoyment and productivity from being in the building or outside engaging with it. The building includes a Grand Auditorium and two additional auditoriums along with Gallery spaces and public amenities. The building is 6-7 storeys height and its larger side spans 99m.
