Around 1/3 of Bulgarian population is
concentrated in Sofia, so this makes public buildings essential for normal
human interaction. This project proposes a museum of music, finding material
traces of immaterial subject.
Site analysis:
The main characteristic of situation
is its linking location, and there is an urban problem that the building in
that place should solve: the connection between residential and public area. And
it's not concerns the ancient problem public vs. private. It's always a
question of people and groups in their interrelationship and mutual commitment.
So I treated the building as a dynamic border (in variety of articulation of
contact surface) to respond the human needs and to have the ability to take
influences.
Organization of space:
The main defining force to structure
the complex is different forms of interaction between people. The entrance
space should be embodiment of direct connection between person and society. There
persons interact each other simultaneously, without the needs of mediator. There
take place a cafeteria, thematically bookstore, shops and trade stands. The
next space is for mediated interaction, where communication between people is
mediated by art. It contains main hall. And final space represents indirect
connection. There remains only one side of process and mediator (art). The second
part of interaction (author) is hidden and speaks only by his creations. This
separation defines all combination of interaction between people and makes a
gradual system for experience of the visitor.
Morphological genesis
of form:
Based on the characteristic of spaces
proceed with building's appearance. I found a most responsive form in that case,
and called it "double filter". The two filters are concentric of the
primary element of building - the hall. One of them is situated along the
periphery of the hall, and the other - along the periphery of the complex. They
are in morphological and semantic interaction.
These filters create two different surfaces
along the building. One is articulated, inviting people to interact with
building and all of its parts, and the other is plain and intimate. This is
obtained by twisting the pillars, the border is constructed by.
