Chld’s play : a children’s theatre at Vanier Park Billingsley, Brian Laing
Abstract
The design of a children's theatre at Vanier Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, is loosely based upon the model and philosophical underpinnings of the Vancouver Children's Festival. The theatre is situated in the present site of the Children's Festival, designed to provide children with year round access to the arts. A liaison between school children or a venue for professional travelling troupes, the theatre is designed to accommodate any size of performance. The integration of landscape is a strong component of the overall theatre design, reinforcing the vitality of the annual Festival held in the park. The plan and resultant form is derived from specific site geometries and view corridors provided by its location. The hierarchy of spaces is dominated by a large central lobby which is circumvented by a looping ramp. This space is where the spontaneity of children's theatre is to take place, a space where each child becomes an actor in his or her own play. The idea of looping is a generative concept to further heighten these secondary aspects of children's theatre.

The design of a children's theatre at Vanier Park in
Vancouver, British Columbia, is loosely based upon the model
and philosophical underpinnings of the Vancouver Children's
Festival. The theatre is situated in the present site of
the Children's Festival, designed to provide children with
year round access to the arts. A liaison between school
children or a venue for professional travelling troupes, the
theatre is designed to accommodate any size of performance.
The integration of landscape is a strong component of the
overall theatre design, reinforcing the vitality of the
annual Festival held in the park. The plan and resultant
form is derived from specific site geometries and view
corridors provided by its location. The hierarchy of spaces
is dominated by a large central lobby which is circumvented
by a looping ramp. This space is where the spontaneity of
children's theatre is to take place, a space where each
child becomes an actor in his or her own play. The idea of
looping is a generative concept to further heighten these
secondary aspects of children's theatre.
