This study “CAFA – CENTRO: THE DEVELOPMENT OF STAGE FOR
TUP CAFA ATRIUM” aims to improve the stage's aesthetics by using a
carefully designed background that compliments the overall ambiance of the
TUP CAFA Atrium. The backdrop's goal is to contribute to the artistic
attractiveness of the stage while also addressing practical factors for effective
utilization during various events or performances. This project attempts to
develop a background that not only acts as a visual focal point but also
improves the entire experience for both performers and audience members
through a thorough design approach. The development of this stage backdrop
involves considerations such as artistic elements, functionality, and integration
with the existing space, with the ultimate goal of transforming the TUP CAFA
Atrium into a more dynamic and aesthetically pleasing performance venue.
This research was done by survey on January 15, 2023 with fifty
respondents who are composed of ten professionals, ten CAFA Professors
and thirty CAFA Students. The respondents gave 4.59 for functionality, 4.93
for workability, 4.35 for durability, 4.5 for appearance and the safety criteria
have an average rating of 4.48, With the Overall Mean of 4.49, the design
structure is defined as “Very Good”.
The panel of experts recommend including charging outlets on the
shelves so that the users will be able to utilize the space more, installing of
retractable stairs at the left and right wing of the stage for better accessibility
and use oil or grease in the door’s mechanism for it to slide more smoothly.
