HHEAL WORK


Ms. Hoeksema was project manager for this auditorium space for this theatre built in Chicago's Millennium Park during her work as junior designer for HBRA Architects. The acoustical clouds and towers were built of steel with plywood shells. The steel provided locations to position lighting and speakers. The orchestra pit was only 2' above the park's water table, resulting in a potential buoyancy effect instead of the traditional force or gravity.
