The Theatre under Construction was finished 44 years after the start of its construction. During 4 decades it was in a pitiable shape and it was used only partly. The project maintained and revealed the structures of the building from the subsequent stages of unfinished construction. The space indicates the times that passed by. The new elements of the building discuss with the past (Gutenberg Barrows in front of the theatre), the present (multimedia façade) and the future (endemic gardens on the roof). The new surface joining reconstructed ruins is the Alley of Cultures ? the lively place-to-be.
