Inspiration for the design and orintation of my theatre is inspired by the ancient Roman-Greco amphitheatres. The recognisable characteristics of curved seating that slopes down towards a main stage, greatly influenced the design of my Vitra Theatre. The Vitra theatre resembles the Greco style of amphitheatres with its semi-circle structures more so than the Roman theatres.
