SFSU Performing Arts Hall

The SFSU Performing Arts Hall ask its viewers to question the reality of how things appear both in the world and on the stage. The world is a stage after all. Through a bloating of the envelope the tightly packed viewports pull the background of the building forward into a flat plain to offer a perception of the world that appears to be the set of a play. Its questions the hierarchy of foreground and background and questions how our setting effects how we perform or daily lives.
