5 key facts about this project
### Overview
The Triplets project is situated within a Latvian forest, designed to enhance the artistic experience of the Sansusi Festival. This architectural endeavor features three interconnected acoustic sculptures—Stage Treble, Stage Bass, and Metronome Bar—each serving a distinct function while collectively fostering an engaging performance environment. The design prioritizes sound quality and audience interaction, integrating with the natural landscape to create a multi-sensory experience that aligns music with its surroundings.
### Acoustic and Spatial Configuration
Stage Treble is engineered to amplify high-frequency sounds, making it optimal for acoustic instruments and vocal performances. In contrast, Stage Bass is tailored for lower frequencies, providing an ideal setting for electronic music and bands that emphasize bass-heavy sounds. The Metronome Bar serves a dual purpose as a refreshment area and an acoustic enhancer, augmenting the auditory experience through its interaction with sound waves from the performances. The audience is accommodated in a flexible seating arrangement for up to 600 participants, promoting close interaction with performers and diverse viewing experiences. This spatial strategy is underscored by the flowing, angular designs of the sculptures, which not only create an aesthetic rhythm but also enhance sound projection tailored to various musical genres.
### Material Selection and Sustainability
The construction of the Triplets utilizes moisture-treated plywood for framing and curved finishes, ensuring durability while allowing for design flexibility. Flexible plywood enables sculptural forms that optimize acoustics. Concrete blocks provide foundational stability, while wood glue and fasteners ensure structural integrity through interlocking designs. This project emphasizes sustainability; scalable design elements can be reconfigured for different events, enabling adaptability without compromising functionality. The organic forms of the structures harmonize with the forest environment, contributing to a tranquil atmosphere that enriches the sensory experience of the festival.
### Construction Methodology
The assembly of the Triplets project is outlined in a five-day construction timeline utilizing CNC technology for precision in plywood fabrication. This approach enables efficient production and consistency in design components. The interlocking assembly method facilitates quick setup and dismantling, addressing the temporal requirements of festival environments.
