he mill center for the arts by easton + combs
american firm easton + combs proposal for the mill center for the arts consists of a roof with continuous triangular prisms. the jagged roof structure provides natural sunlight to the main theater through windows that are installed under a few of the prisms.
the center design extends the topic of ‘performance center’ into the secondary and tertiary civic roles of the building as a community center. the architectural expression is a celebration of both the cultural performance of the everyday and the exceptional performance of art.
