5 key facts about this project
## Project Overview
Located within a forested area, this architectural design integrates performance spaces with the surrounding natural environment. The primary intent is to foster connections between the community and its artistic expressions while respecting and enhancing the cultural and ecological heritage. The design aims to create a harmonious atmosphere that balances visual appeal with acoustic sensitivity.
### Spatial Configuration and Structural Elements
The layout features three distinct sculptural structures that serve both functional and artistic purposes, harmonizing with the acoustic character of the forest. The two designated performance stages are strategically positioned in the western and eastern sections, aligning with existing trees and ground contours. The “Spiral Up” (Organ Pipe) structure is characterized by its vertical wood elements and vital metal piping that influences sound dynamics. The “String Down” (Harp) installation incorporates slim wood strings, presenting an interactive performance space while enhancing visitor engagement. Finally, “The Bar” (Cello) offers a curvilinear design that enriches the auditory experience through its horizontal wooden slabs.
### Material Palette and Environmental Integration
The project employs three types of wood, establishing a cohesive language throughout the structures while reinforcing the sensory experience. The design incorporates intricately crafted wooden components, such as draped wires and contouring slabs, enhancing both the aesthetic and acoustic qualities. Careful attention to the existing flora results in structures that protect and celebrate the natural surroundings. With an ephemerality that blends into the forest by day, the design features strategic night-time lighting that captivates visitors and enhances their experience. Sustainable timber benches accommodate 500 spectators, fostering an inclusive space for community gatherings and artistic events.
