GBBN Architects balances the complexities inherent in arts and entertainment projects to create fun venues to which people want to return.Joe Schwab - AIA: Arts/Entertainment Team
Naturally, the evolution of Arts and Entertainment (A&E) projects is influenced by a variety of perspectives, both internal and external to the project. We understand and value the importance of these varied views and are able to use such input to enhance the outcome of the project. Adding to the complexity, is the visibility in the public eye. Postponing the first pitch or delaying a performance is not an option. We understand the show must go on and takes every necessary step to deliver timely and accurate results.
Our Team possesses a thorough understanding of the unique space requirements in A&E venues, as well as the relationships between the spaces. Dining, retail, and performance spaces are just a few examples. GBBN is skilled at developing these in a way that enhances the synergy between spaces. Hand-in-hand with program, is the marriage of aesthetics, constructability, function, and budget. The space must function as intended, yet be visually appealing. From the smallest detail to the overall environment, GBBN provides the technical expertise necessary to balance these elements successfully.
Due to the uniqueness of the space, A&E projects often require the involvement of specialty designers and consultants. GBBN welcomes this involvement and embraces the collaborative effort required to yield a project of distinction. Our ability to orchestrate multiple discipline consultant teams is exemplified in the quality of the final product.
"At the heart of the great success of this venue is the ability to serve the function of theater production well. Easy access for the staff, equipment and performers means that the process of moving a show into the facility goes smoothly and efficiently. The number of productions that look forward to returning to this facility is a tribute to both the ease of the process and the cost savings that result. We couldn't ask for more.
