The Kinesis is a performing arts center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, designed as an extension of Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. The project provides a platform for diverse performances, catering to students, visitors, and the local community.

The design responds to the urban context by connecting to Lafayette Square with a public plaza and a prominent entrance. It also considers the nearby residential areas, introducing another public plaza and a carefully placed entrance to ensure accessibility and integration. The building features four main entrances, all converging in a central lobby that distributes movement to other levels through an atrium.

The slanted columns and sloped walls enhance natural lighting while shaping a form that mirrors the energy of the performances within. Spaces are organized based on acoustic and privacy needs: louder, public areas like the auditorium and black box theater are located underground, while quieter, more private spaces such as classrooms and the library occupy the upper floors.

The Kinesis combines thoughtful design, functionality, and context, creating a space where performance, education, and community come together.
