The coloration of the building with neutral silver cladding and the distinctive copper-like feature echoes the urban fabric and maintains the harmonic architectural language between the development of past and present.

The human-oriented function and layout by considering the ergonomics and the actual size required in order to accommodate 1600 seats within the building footprint. The Architect tries to connect the old and new architectural language by choosing and considering the materiality of the facade to echo the red brick environment of New Town Plaza.
