The Shed Theater

The Shed is a rare example of a building that can physically change its shape. The structure features a massive, telescoping outer shell that rests over the base building when not in use. This shell weighs eight million pounds and is mounted on heavy-duty wheels that allow it to roll along rails. It takes only five minutes for this enormous enclosure to move, expanding the building's footprint to create a temperature-controlled hall for large-scale performances.
