If the premise of the world as a stage is acceptable, then our built environment becomes the stage for cultural presentation. As we go about our everyday business we are engaged in a theatrical act. Whether or not we are ‘viewed’, we all ‘present’ a cultural phenomenon. More than a mere stage we propose that architecture is also an active participant in this theater. Our winning entry to a two-stage Nordic competition, this art and music school, in Kvinnherad is organized as a series of indoors and outdoors stages of various sizes and characters, each conducive to series of events and happening. These stages are all multifunctional spaces that assume an active role in organization and choreography of daily life of the community about the building and its larger environment.
