The Music Building

The Music Building is an urban project, a project in the city. It has the quality of being as much an event in itself, as of being the house and catalyst of extraordinary events of culture and artistic exchange.The Music Building is placed in a difficult juncture; at the edge, and at the threshold of the City Center. Its placement and program demand a conceptual approach, and the management of multiple layered relationships. The context is visually complex, and its topographic variety opens views, and therefore opportunities for the development of a building that exploits the object / space duality. The Music Building is a civic building; it looks at the City, as the City looks at the building.
