Hypothetically, the client is Cirque du Soleil, and the project intention is to design and develop a program that reflects the client's image. I chose to design a Youth Centre.
The Cirque has involved itself in commuty service, especially in the sustainability faction. Thus by introducing this program, the Cirque will be able to offer the right guidence to help in recognizing and sustaining talent in young people.

DREAMWEAVER:
GF: CREATIVE SPACE AND CATWALK
This is the area where the creativity happens and showcased.
MEZZANINE:SUSPENDED PLANK
A walkway where the Cirque tests the child’s performance and creative ingenuity. ‘Muses’ are assigned on this floor to help in the child realise his creative potential and express it in materials, holographic technology, and other interactive media.
This 'plank' is Suspended in the warehouse space using non-flexible stainless steel cables in spirit of circus suspension acts and tightrope walkers.
