Music Center - Sectional Strategies

Here are the two sections that I presented at the midterm review for Greg Lynn's studio. There was also a model, but it's pretty unfinished so I'll leave it out for this posting.

The basic sectional strategy is to introduce two theaters (one indoor and one outdoor) that face each other across a central stage and flyloft. The front of the building, facing the Disney Concert Hall, is a giant opening into the large main spaces of the building, providing a visual connection between the main interior and exterior spaces.

All of the theaters and the other dense parts of the program (rehearsal rooms, offices, etc) are housed in a very dense rusticated mass through which the softer public spaces flow around and through. These soft spaces are defined by a series of draped surfaces which are pulled taut at certain points to allow for walkable floors while at other conditions they are allowed to unfurl to become structure or vertical circulaton. The surfaces fuse the disparate spaces into one conceptually continuous space, seaming with each other to form overhangs, balconies and stairs.

More refinement is needed on their architectual qualities however in the second half of the quarter.
