Project 2---Narrative and Drawings

Narrative

A hall for a girl and a gentleman to meet each other, where they play virginal, using music to communicate, experiencing love embodied with in music.

Explaination of concept:

In this project, the design strategy is a highly specific response to architectural representation of music. In another word, the characteristics of music such as rhythm, beat will be architectually reflected. based on the staff of the song "romance of love". all structures are generated. the two wing rooms, which are the access to the meeting place for the girl and gentleman respectively, comprise many seperate walls. the notes on the staff became the free space for moving through, while, leaving the other spaces as walls.as a result, the flowing of leaping notes and melody is perceptible as moving through, simultaneously, the changing of light and shadow effect echoes the action of playing the keyboard. the meeting space also deal with the staff, but with the intervals of notes, the layers which symbolize the staff stack on one of another, the length of the projections followed the intervals of notes, people can not only visually feel the rhythm of music as the space is getting wider but also physically experience music by taking steps up which have varying dimensions of treads and risers. the facade opening is a transformation of the way how notes lie on the lines, while the vertical roof openings have a similar strategy as how the meeting space being built.
