Floor Plan_In Process

There are mainly 3 floors. I provided two emergency exits(fire stair) on two sides.

Concept: I have two auditoriums and they carry totally different styles and elements.

Mainly on the structural appearance(smooth and soft) acoustic music. Another one would be (sharp and heavy) for heavy metal rock music. Since i chose the Brooklyn site, there are two blocks i can work on. I might use a glass open tunnel to connect two main pieces of my opera house.

Sketches_Section Layout

It is the sectional sketch. i put two main auditoriums separately and connect them with the main hall. The Curve shape is kind of represented rhythm movement.

Conceptual Sketches

Parti: I used the RHYTHM (frequency) to separate two sides which are Manhattan and Brooklyn. The curve lines described how rhythm move. Since i chose the Brooklyn Site, i want to use my opera house to connect to the river (water waving).

These three model is inspiriting by the local culture from Brooklyn and Manhattan. I depend on the foot traffic, sound volume to build these model.

Concept Models_Musical Instruments

These three models are base on the abstract feature of some musical instruments such as piano case, drum, and saxophone etc.

Concept: Connection between Noisy and Silence ( Manhattan and Brooklyn)
Main Auditorium on the center upon connects to other programs

Concept Board_Program

Program: Musical Opera Auditorium
I got inspiration from Musical Instrument ( Guitar String, Saxophone and Piano case )  regarding to the idea of my program such as Gradual layers for the structure itself. Note chords show the levels. Curve and Repetition also will apply to my design.

  

Concept Board_Site

Basically, the site impressed me because of the local street culture such as the graffiti drawing on the wall and "Dumbo" only street view, and it also combined some new elements which are Brooklyn Bridge Park (Merry-Go-Round). It would be interesting if i can apply some traditional structure with some new element.
