Year two, extracts from my current sketchbook





Music as an abstract world.

My current project involves the desgn of a Music School and Residential in Halifax, It involves a claster of buildings in the center of Halifax. Firstly the square chapel wich is the main performance space, The old methodist church ruins and the Piece Hall (wich serves as a open outdoor perfomace space especially in summer), but is mainly used as a shopping complex and public space. current The Piece Hall is under used wich is a great shame as it steaped in culture and tradition. My site is in and around the Hall and speading out into the Square chapel.

My site is in and around the Hall and speading out into the Square chapel.

The idea is to infliltrate both building almost parasitically, to gain the best of both worlds, to connect the two buildings into a common union through music. The word connect, is very important in terms of masterplanning. I beilive the Piece Hall could benefit greatly from the music culture that is thriving in the Square chapel therefore the marrige and connection of the Piece hall to the square chapel is logical in social and economic terms. However the connection has to be made is some way that says intenctions maybe Politically, Artistically, and Philosophically about my ideas about Music per say,the site and the functions of a music residentail + school. Above is a scinario i have inviosioned shown in the abstract digital painting of the site in point perspetive. The white is the path that links both buildings form the main road from the train station. The Green block is the Square chapel and the black and grey is the wall of the Piece Hall. The painting shows the program blocks or shards attacking the PieceHall and vias versa. the concerpt is abract, it is shying away from dealing with the idea of Architetural connection in a direct way but reduces the problem solving into a fanantacy. Below a close up of thsese shards flying.
spellings to be corrected (still editing)
