Unesco Ancient Theatre Revitalization is a cultural facility proposal for an ancient open-air theatre. The design applies adaptive reuse through minimal and reversible intervention that protects the archaeological fabric. A lightweight tensile membrane roof, carried by a slender modular steel frame, filters daylight and moderates temperature while keeping views open to the landscape. Calibrated roof openings and radial circulation paths support natural ventilation and passive cooling. The resulting flexible space hosts performances, public gatherings and civic events.
