KIRK & Kerry Hill Architects shortlisted | New Performing Arts Venue

Shortlist

KIRK (Richard Kirk Architect) & Kerry Hill Architects are pleased to announce their shortlisting for the New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV) at QPAC, Brisbane.

Context

The NPAV project brief sought to 'complete' the existing Robin Gibson QPAC building with a new 1500 seat theatre in order to meet the Cultural Precinct's high demands; and complete the original vision for the Queensland Performing Arts Centre complex - a rare building in the National Estate. The proposal carefully manages a highly complex set of requirements to deliver a poetic simplicity response: a veranda for the city.

The new theatre will belong to the family of Gibson buildings that occupy this important precinct and will complete the QPAC building with a sensitive and surgical intervention that reinterprets the Gibson building language in detail at varying scales. The public realm that foregrounds the new theatre is an essential element to knit the theatre into the city to make an engaging and welcoming place that is permeable, porous and connected.
