THE CHRYSALIS:
Reinventing the Amphitheater
CLIENT BRIEF: Design a stage within Merriweather Park.
THE DESIGNER’S RESPONSE: BE MORE THAN A STAGE.
95% of the time, the new Chrysalis Amphitheater in Merriweather Park of Columbia, Maryland is not programmed. Rather than waiting for official events, architecture studio MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY maximized the potential of the project brief with a design that provides an experience around the clock.
?We want to provide not just a destination, but an experience for the morning jogger, the Sunday walker, and the afternoon stroller, as well as anyone who is actually there for a show,? Architect DPLG Marc Fornes says of the project. ?More than an amphitheater, it is first a pavilion in the park, an architectural folly, a tree house and a public artwork. It is ready to be engaged and activated at any given moment.?
