So much of this construction revolves around rectangles, it seems. Once the work with dirt (filling the gulley) was finished—work that couldn’t be confined to geometric boundaries as we usually think of them—we’ve been in the realm of 90 degree angles. Tennis courts (here getting fenced), the theater lobby (getting enclosed with roofing--not really on its side!), the gym annex (walls up) are all being defined clearly as rectangles.
The photo taken inside the theater proper—the one in which you see the light and shadow on the wall-- demonstrates the interesting aspect of the different type of roof decking used on this part of the building. Since acoustics is so important in theaters, the builders use acoustical decking which has holes in it. The grooves in the corrugated panels are filled with a material that will absorb the sound and prevent unwanted resonance and echoes. Whoever would have thought…?
