In the <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/dee-and-charles-wyly-theatre\/\">Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre<\/a>, design teams from <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/oma\/\">OMA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/rex\/\">REX<\/a> created a new model for theaters to rethink how architecture frames performance and the arts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58825 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?resize=1920%2C1269&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?resize=1024%2C677&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?resize=768%2C508&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/21-22.jpg?resize=1536%2C1015&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Designed as a new way to organize the theater typology, the Wyly Theatre embraces the legacy and history of The Dallas Theater Center. Known for constant experimentation, the DTC was formerly housed in the Arts District Theater, a metal shed where directors challenged the traditional conventions of theater and often reconfigured the form of the stage to fit their artistic visions. The Arts District Theater became known as the most flexible theater in America.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58806 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-75-e1583189942808.jpg?resize=1250%2C678&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1250\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-75-e1583189942808.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-75-e1583189942808.jpg?resize=300%2C163&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-75-e1583189942808.jpg?resize=1024%2C555&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-75-e1583189942808.jpg?resize=768%2C417&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Over time, the costs of constantly reconfiguring the theater\u2019s stage became a financial burden, and eventually, DTC permanently fixed its stage into a \u201cthrust-cenium.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/oma\/\">OMA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/rex\/\">REX<\/a> set out to create a new replacement informed by the original building\u2019s makeshift nature, and in turn, the new design needed to be flexible while requiring minimal operational costs. It is the team\u2019s parti that set this project apart; instead of circling front-of-house and back-of-house functions around the auditorium and fly tower, the Wyly Theatre stacks these facilities below-house and above-house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58817 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-58.jpg?resize=1250%2C817&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1250\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-58.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-58.jpg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-58.jpg?resize=1024%2C669&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-58.jpg?resize=768%2C502&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58811 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-GIF.gif?resize=1500%2C1125&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>This stacked layout transformed the building into one big \u201ctheater machine.\u201d The compact, vertical orientation of the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre allows support spaces to be stacked above and beneath. As the teams explained, at the push of a button, the theater could be transformed into a wide array of configurations \u2014 including proscenium, thrust, and flat floor \u2014 freeing directors and scenic designers to choose the stage-audience configuration. At the same time, the performance chamber is intentionally made of materials that encourage alterations; the stage and auditorium surfaces can be cut, drilled, painted, welded, sawed, nailed, glued and stitched at limited cost.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58813 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-63.jpg?resize=1250%2C508&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1250\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-63.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-63.jpg?resize=300%2C122&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-63.jpg?resize=1024%2C416&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-63.jpg?resize=768%2C312&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58809 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-75.jpg?resize=1250%2C491&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1250\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-75.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-75.jpg?resize=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-75.jpg?resize=1024%2C402&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-75.jpg?resize=768%2C302&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>OMA explains that, \u201cNo longer shielded by transitional and technical areas \u2014 foyer, ticket counters, backstage facilities \u2014 this reimagining of the theater typology exposes the auditorium to the city on all sides.\u201d Directors can incorporate the Dallas skyline and streetscape into performances at will, as the auditorium is enclosed by an acoustic glass fa\u00e7ade with hidden black-out blinds that can be opened or closed.<\/p>\n<p>Panels of the fa\u00e7ade can also be opened to allow patrons or performers to enter into the auditorium or stage directly from outside, bypassing the downstairs lobby.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58828\" style=\"width: 2510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58828\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58828 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=2500%2C1500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?w=2500&amp;ssl=1 2500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=1024%2C614&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=1536%2C922&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/23-15.jpg?resize=2048%2C1229&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Superfly Structures, Courtesy Manuel Cordero<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The primary structure is a system of concrete mega-columns that run along the perimeter of three sides, with the fourth supported by a concrete shear wall. The secondary structure, between levels four and seven, is a steel perimeter belt truss that supports the main volume of the raised structure, which transfers building loads to the mega-columns, and ultimately to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>This belt truss works with the structural diaphragms at the floor slabs, providing lateral stability to the overall structure.

The theater is a cast-in-place and structural steel framed facility with an exterior curtain wall and aluminum cladding.<\/p>\n<p>The Wyly Theatre grants its artistic directors freedom to determine the entire theater experience, from audience arrival to performance configuration to departure. Each of the three 135-ton balcony towers, both stair towers, and the proscenium can be repositioned or lifted out of sight using sporting arena scoreboard lifts. The ground plane can change height, tilt or rotate using stage technology adapted from opera houses, facilitating different stage or orchestra-level seating configurations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58831 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-1.jpg?resize=1250%2C825&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wyly Theatre\" width=\"1250\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-1.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-1.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C676&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-1.jpg?resize=768%2C507&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Pushing the limits of the &#8216;multi-form&#8217;, the Wyly Theatre is made to shift between proscenium, thrust, traverse, arena, studio and flat floor layouts \u2014 the latter of these sees the seating and balconies removed entirely.
