Orangerie Proposal

The Orangerie, unlike most performance halls and museums, has no conventional front and back door: it offers three equally grand access points, each providing a unique opportunity to curate movement through the space.

The Orangerie will play host to artists, musicians, performers, and thinkers, accommodating a broad spectrum of pursuits across multiple creative disciplines. To support this rich variety of programming – and to anticipate uses that have yet to be imagined – the building must act as a versatile performer, availing itself of a flexible infrastructure that can quickly adapt to changing artistic, environmental, technological, and spatial demands.
