Inspired by today’s climate changes and melting arctic ice, the building resembles a tormented and cracked rectangular volume. Slowly sinking next to the Olympic stadium on one side, it seems to be in a precarious balance on the other.

The initial shape goes through many torments that generate key spaces like an important green terrace, drowned by the white universe, a glass roof creating a grid on the sky, an exterior auditorium and an irregular shaped pearled iceberg-lantern floating on a thin layer of water. In the daytime, the lantern allows natural light to invade underground spaces. From outside, the Star theatres are not completely revealed. Other than a few specifically targeted openings in the façade, the only indication of their presence comes from shadows projected onto the exterior building envelope from interior lights reflected onto the brass surface.
