Arizona Best of 2007/Tempe Center for the Arts

摘要

Echoing the design of ancient Anasazi structures and the dramatic earth forms of Monument Valley, this 88,000-sq-ft facility features a 6oo-seat main theater with an intricate cast-in-place concrete dome ceiling, a 200-seat studio theater, art gallery, banquet/meeting room, lounge, administration offices and support spaces. Able Steel Fabricators worked in conjunction with Top Flite Construction to fabricate and install approximately 1,400 tons of structural and miscellaneous steel. The focal point for the steel portion of this project, however, is the 700 tons of exposed pipe truss framing for the multi-faceted roof.
