Designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, this angular theater plays host to Austria's Tyrol Festival.
The building accompanies an existing 1950s Christian theater-turned-playhouse called Passionsspielhaus. Creating a sharp contrast, the ultra futuristic design appears to protrude form the spanning Austrian countryside. The monolithic construction's interior coincides with the modernist aesthetic of its asymmetrical facade. A minimalist lobby leads to the wooden auditorium that boasts a jagged ceiling playing with geometric contrast.
"Aside from the geometry, color also enhances the duality between old and new," explain the architects of their vision. Perhaps what makes this construction most interesting is the way that it complements its 50s counterpart by harmonizing both eras, a display that does justice to the Austria's Tyrol Festival.

Trend Themes
1. Angular Architecture - Designing buildings with sharp angles and asymmetrical features can create a futuristic aesthetic.
2. Geometric Contrast - Incorporating jagged ceilings and contrasting shapes within the interior of a building can create visual interest.
3. Harmonizing Eras - Blending the architectural styles of different eras can create a unique and visually appealing contrast in a building.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can explore innovative designs using angular and geometric elements to create visually striking buildings.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can experiment with incorporating contrasting shapes and features to add visual interest to spaces.
3. Event Management - Event organizers can consider using venues that harmonize different architectural eras, providing a unique experience for attendees.
