The purpose of this thesis project is to explore the possibilities of reformulating the theatre typology, primarily using linear spatial qualities to create an east meets west performance space. Thus, this thesis develops a cultural amalgamation through designing a new type of theatre typology that incorporates cultural, linearity and the communal.

In order to do so, based on the historical research on western theatres and the local theatres from the thesis’ capstone research component, various iteration and typological combination were extracted from the existing theatres. Thereafter the fragments are decomposed and tested within other combinations. From the exterior to the interior, the various spatial propositions incorporates and illustrate the dual means through which cultural fragments of both western and eastern theatre merge.
