Abstract
Airport has been labelled as a non-place by the French anthropologist Marc Augé, with its place as a limbo filled with a mass of isolated individuals which response to non-human mediations such as boarding screens and signages. Consider together with the automatic trend of mobility as well as the social health trend of non-real life conversations thanks to technology, there is a diminishing of human element within Schiphol. Nevertheless, a lack of cultural amenity on the landside for non-travellers. Consider together with the growth of Airport city, a theatre is proposed to be installed for not only landside users but also the potential of a human element added for travellers who spend excessive time idling.The Schiphol Theatre locates at the centre of Schipholterminal, which lies on one of the main axis within atransitional cityscape. It contains a multicharacter essencewith functioning as a public lounge, a public space, as well as an event space for not only classical performaces, but also public entertainments. This thesis project exploresthe possibilites of redefining Schiphol anemity experience,providing flexibility for World events/daily activities, VIA emphasizing on publicness, togetherness and cohesiveness of amenity.
