The architectural solution of the ensemble is suggested by A. Harutyunyan.
The architects of the building: R. Alaverdyan, S. Burdjanyan, G. Mnatsakanyan. Constructor: R. Badalyan.
The sculptural ensemble of the theatre created by Ara Harutyunyan has a strong compositional integrity. Remaining a plastic element of the overall design, each part of the ensemble still keeps its local value. Harutyunyan has successfully identified the key approaches to the sculpture. The architectural layout of the ensemble performed by Harutyunyan is successfully matching the space surrounding the sculpture.
