This year began with a series of primer projects aimed at generating designs that were based on my individual interests. In the early weeks these interests moved from ‘heaviness and lightness’, grids, patterns, composition and arrived at explorations of sound and music based on physical properties such as acoustics and noise, social properties of community, outreach and gathering, and conceptual studies of plans, sections and perspectives based on a language of sound and music mechanics. My scheme is tackling a noisy site, disjointed by infrastructure, in an effort to create a place for the surrounding communities to gather in activities such as rehearsing and performing music, while providing a vital connection point between these communities and a link with the city.
