Abstract
My graduation research started with the analysis of both the tangible and intangible values of the existing structure throughout all the different scales, starting with the urban and ending with the building technology scale. My research focuses on the functionality and more specifically the "tailor made" aspect of the initial design of the Katoenveem and the question "how to utilize the tailor made feature of the existing in order to create tailor made experiences for its future users. This is the reason why I decided to design a performing arts centre with flexible spaces that can serve and adjust to the needs of each performance.
