The Rabat Grand Theatre designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the design takes its energy from the Bouregreg River. The dynamics of the river is introduced into the site, generating the landscape of the park that engulfs the amphitheatre. This gesture gathers strength from the ground and in one fluent sweep, extends into the sky to generate the envelope that sculpts itself over the two auditoria, arches back to the ground and melts back into the landscape.

This formal gesture hides an underlying economy in acoustic strategy and back-of-house organization. The solidity of the theatre to the west shields the open air amphitheater from both the western sun and noise from Moulay Hassan bridge. The decision to align all three theaters back-to-back allows the three auditorium to share the back-of-house facilities and reduces the size of the building services. These fluid sculptural forms create a seamless spatial experience that flows into the main foyer, moulding the grand staircases. This fluidity provides an intuitive visual and physical guide for visitors. + Visit Zaha Hadid website here.
