If you look closely, the concept diagram layered underneath the floor plans determines the layout. The circle diagram is laid under the dance spaces, the rectangle diagram under the support spaces and the triangle diagram under the theater spaces. At first, the clients were worried about the functionality of angled walls - wasted space and custom mill-work. However, once they began to see how the concept worked into the plan, they were excited to see how it would could be developed further.
In addition to these comments, I learned the Scene Shop and Main Stage Theater needed additional height. This will be addressed as I develop the floor plans leading up to our next presentation.
