The Bass Note Booth, designed by Gabriel Multedo, is a modular installation located in the heart of Berlin's lively cultural environment. It serves as an interactive space for music and dance, offering a unique experience for users. The design aims to promote connection among participants, allowing multiple booths to work together. This approach enriches the experience of movement and performance in a communal setting.

Architecture Concept
The overall concept focuses on user engagement through a circular layout that enhances movement and safety. The shape of the booth reduces the risk of injury, facilitating a dynamic space for dancers to interact. By allowing booths to share power and ventilation, the design supports collective use during events, whether they are concerts or casual gatherings.

Materiality
The materials chosen for the Bass Note Booth are functional and visually appealing. The exterior walls are made from PET canvas, which is lightweight yet durable. This material helps maintain the structure's integrity while providing an open atmosphere inside. The music lines, which form the framework, also incorporate LED light fixtures. These lights contribute to the ambiance, creating an inviting environment for users.

User Interaction
Inside the booth, a touch screen interface allows users to connect their devices via Bluetooth, make payments, and control the climate within the space. This combination of technology and design aims to create an accessible experience. Users can easily navigate functions, enhancing their time within the booth and making it user-friendly.

Sustainability and Modularity
The collapsible nature of the Bass Note Booth makes it practical for transportation and setup. It decreases costs and lowers carbon emissions during installation. This modular design enables booths to be arranged together at various events while utilizing a central power source. Such a feature supports sustainability and allows for creative use in different contexts.

One notable detail of the Bass Note Booth is its use of magnets along the seams of the fabric. This allows the structure to open smoothly while ensuring a secure closure during use. This design feature adds to the functionality and user experience, creating an effective architectural solution for social interaction in a musical setting.

Competition organisers

The Vancouver Tall Challenge: Building Higher Downtown is an international architecture competition organized by Buildner in collaboration with the City of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA). The competition invites architects, designers, planners, and creative thinkers to explore innovative approaches to tall buildings in Vancouver’s downtown core, focusing on sustainability, livability, urban density, public space, and the city’s strong connection to nature. As Vancouver continues to grow, participants are challenged to rethink how vertical development can enhance urban life and contribute to a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient city identity.

The competition offers a total prize fund of $15,000 CAD, with winning proposals selected by an international jury of architects, planners, academics, and city-building professionals. Key dates include the final registration deadline on October 29, 2026, submission deadline on November 30, 2026, and winners announcement on January 26, 2027.
