Concept Model
by mcanadayuncc
Music – Community – Courthouse
The park amphitheater space will provide a venue for local music and will be the flex space of the courthouse. Music brings people together as a community. Ideally, this program will open the courthouse to the public as a less intimidating space and become more inviting. How does music connect to law and the aspects of a courthouse? 1) Community. 2) 1st amendment: freedom of speech.
Music and interlocking figures are the motifs most prevalent in my concept sketches and models to appeal to the idea of music bringing people together as a community.
Music: an art of sound that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the element of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.
Could this, with the exemption of the word sound, not be a definition of architecture?
What is considered music (architecture) and what is considered merely crude unorganized noise (anti-space), often varies culture to culture.
Music (architecture) is emotion.
Organization of specific sounds (materials) and tones (techniques) set within a certain time structure. It is one of the oldest forms of human artistic expression.
Music (architecture) brings people together. – community
Music gives a solid emotional foundation and a sense of emotional regulation – emotional shifts – “drug-like” – music (architecture) can alter sense of perspective, sense of time, sense of distance, and mood.
Music is a vacation from reality.
