Band
Shell by the Stream
This
band shell is located in Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing
Arts, in a meadow north of the Filene Center, the primary
summer performing arts facility in the Park. The form is derived
organically and primarily from the acoustic requirements of
small outdoor concerts. The front terrace stage steps and
decks are designed to allow easy circulation during fund raising
parties when performances are not scheduled. The materials,
cedar with copper accents, are designed to harmonize with
the cedar and copper of the Filene Center, but not to compete
with it. This design won a Merit Award from the AIA.
