Performing Arts Centre of Miami

Ballet Opera House

Project Summary

The Performing Arts Centre of Greater Miami designed by world renowned Architect Cesar Pelli consists of a Ballet Opera House and Concert Hall. The 2,480 seat, 5,600 ton, Ballet Opera House detailed by BDS VirCon consisted of five different sectors centred about a main stage classic horseshoe-shape seating area. The roof structure was made up of 26 large framed trusses of various depths. At completion there were approximately 10,000 individual pieces detailed on this project.

Due to the complex nature of this project BDS through its technical and modelling expertise also played a significant role in assisting with the final design development that eliminated many costly field conflicts
