As the building is intended for experimental and educational purposes, its appearance does not need to be grand as one would expect of a theatre and the premises can make the impression of a free artistic environment. These were the considerations that led to the inspiration by a workshop or factory producing art with less formal and ostentatious atmosphere of a theatre. Following the example of industrial plants, the utilities installed on the surface are in plain view. The building is enclosed in a translucent casing, revealing its interior to the outside. Our aim was to create an interesting atmosphere of the JAMU laboratory by using inexpensive and unostentatious means.
