An interior space precedent for raw, heavy-concrete civic halls featuring large web-punched precast beams and unadorned structural envelopes.
- What we like about this project
- Large circular and oval cutouts in the deep beams lighten the heavy structural elements while revealing services.

- Geometry
- Wide, voluminous rectangular hall spanned by deep, web-punched precast concrete beams resting on raw concrete walls with punched window openings.
- Structural guess
- Precast web-punched concrete beams bearing on cast-in-place concrete walls.
- Spatial scale
- Large public scale; double-height or multi-story volume accommodating a standing crowd easily beneath massive spans.
- Lighting
- Flat, diffuse indoor lighting supplemented by functional overhead strip fixtures.
- Atmosphere
- Austere, industrial, and utilitarian, softened temporarily by banners and human gathering.
- Environmental context
- Indoor assembly within a large civic or industrial shell under construction.
- Spatial experience
- A cavernous, raw space filled with people, where the heavy rhythm of the structural beams establishes a monumental civic scale.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating deep precast beams create a strong overhead structural cadence across the long span.
- Style reading
