Le Theater Populaire

We entered in an "Inspireli's 5th Annual Design Competition", where we had to redesign an amphitheatre and add additional buildings for new programs, all contained in a 10 000m2 site area, in the middle of Burkina Faso, Africa.

Design Intent

Our design proposal for Le Theater Populaire in Burkina Faso is inspired by the people, the culture and the creativity that the performers have to offer not only the local municipal but also the world. Utilising this inspiration, we collated all our ideas from traditional building techniques, cultural significance, and environmental awareness to apply to the design. This includes pattern symbolic reference found in traditional architecture and community interaction to allow for multi-disciplinary arts to converse and encourage creativity. A variety of disciplines are available at the Le Theater Populaire which engaged us to ensure that all user can circulate through each art into the next. We want to offer a space for participation and opportunity which we believe would benefit Ouagadougou by showcasing local talent and in turn creating an identity for the area.
