Urban issue​

We jump over the current plot proposal to enrich the urban environment. We link the opera plot with the new music mall complex enlarging the pedestrian space and providing a connected platform for the users. Instead of the massive block that the maximum construction area require. We suggest to underground the street that divide both plots and use it as a entrance for underground parking liberating the public space. Through few modifications from the original volume such as scaling, routing and performing we give a new sense of public space looking for surprise and use diversity.

​

The public space​

We tried to avoid a clear difference between public and private. The aim is to give a platform to enrich human interaction. The sequence of volumes sneaks all along the plot creating a more diversity of public space, not only in the outdoor, also inside and in the vertical providing with green and accessible rooftops. Water layers, lush and a permeable skin facade become the design tool for the landscape.

​

What music is?​

The standard definition says that music is the art of combining sounds creating a harmony or melody. For us music is experience. It’s something visual, something to be listen and the materiality of it. Definitely an art that can be enjoy alone or with thousands ... Is something very generic and specific. Never works in one direction, never the same .... Only to be described or felt in the relation between the listener and the sound.

​

Body and soul​

The musical notes grow and conquer the facade. Simple elements repeated and combined create a rhythm, a tempo that sing to the sky. This metaphor will be used to design the new elevation, vertical and horizontal lines will define the image of the whole complex like a musical sheet. No main elevation. The whole facade is defined by horizontal and vertical elements, voids and mass is providing a vibrant continues elevation that can change and be read always in a different way depends on the user’s view and the sunlight of that moment. “a light shadow game in constant change.

​

The music in the inner space continues. Now far from metaphors we are going to use the materiality represented by the families of instruments (west east) and create a subworld based on that. Like in a wave the inner space is define for the al[1]tenancy of high and low, a sequence of spaces with different materials will be to the user a full walking and hearing experience of music. Same time that gives a uniform skin for the whole complex.
