The project celebrates the multidisciplinary techniques of the prolific architect, composer and polymath Iannis Xenakis.
Inspired by his scoring methods and investigations into sound and experience through drawing, the project is situated by Sainte Marie de La Tourette by Le Corbusier and Xenakis, a building which was shaped by music during its design. Here in this tranquil setting, a research, education and performance facility is proposed.
Scoring methods are applied in the structural design of the architecture and in the proposal of a system of adaptable acoustics. This system is comprised of rotatable reflective curved panels which craft the sonic environment of the spaces.
This drawing investigates the proportions of rhythmic architectural motifs in Abbaye du Thoronet, and extracts musical frequencies from the measurements.
