Wharfside Performance Space

Wharfside Performance Space

LOCATION

Mount Stuart Graving Docks, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales

Project Description

Urban Stage

The Urban Stage reflects the history of the place, it symbolises in its structure the character of the site and depicts elements of the surrounding wooden structures and port cranes which once stood on those docks

While preserving the industrial aesthetics of the site, it evolves and enhances its function by becoming the public destination and place of social gathering.

Wharfside Performance Space complements the natural flow of the crowd extended from the city.

It is designed to shield the audience and performers from the site forces while providing views for near and far sight lines, as well as additional space for the crowd.
