A more thorough description of the project would be needed to provide an opinion. Is the primary function of the building a performing arts theater or is this an auditorium in another building type? For example a high school auditorium has a stage and rehearsal but it is not a performing art theater.

It is a goverment building for the peruvian council of science, technology and innovacion. Most spaces area offices. The auditorium is located inside of the building but has its own entrance door and HVAC systems. Thanks you Marcus! Dante

I think you have your answer. It is not a performing arts theater so you do not use those values.
