This thesis will speak to the integration of the performing arts and visual arts and architecture. Architecture should inevitably be integral with the contents within. Consequently the content within the structure should also be affected; they interact together to create a whole. In doing so, both are more influential and strong. By studying each of these disciplines separately, we will then be able to recognize their commonalities. Once acknowledging the commonalities between them we are able to create a place in which growth is able to occur. The result would be A center for performing and visual arts. This program would give each the opportunity to display and perform art cohesively as well as independently, through and with the architecture. Located in the metropolitan region of Phoenix this thesis will integrate the expanding future of the area. Through mixed method research this thesis project will show how together the arts can manipulate each other to become a more cohesive entity as well as relate more in depth with the architecture it fills.
