As such, this use of brick bonds, brick colour and playing with relief has been used to illustrate the journey of the fragment. The Byzantine style coloured bricks encouraged the use of two-tone brickwork in the cafes, which gradually disperse into one colour towards the tower. The base palette is an ochre brick due to the dark and claustrophobic nature of the site, with red clay

interjections in the North and West facades. Moreover, the cafe’s facade plays with relief, exaggerating the protrusion of the brick to further fragment the wall. Mimicking ephemerality, the fleeting nature of musical performances is communicated through an always changing facade; the wall will look different from different perspectives. Moving towards the tower, the limited use of two brick

bonds felt ominous due to its scale. Thus, a secondary material has been used in the relief of the openings. Wood has been used to suggest the materiality of

the interior of the museum, which is timber on the permanent exhibition floors to reflect the timbre of the instruments. Thus the facade is giving a indication of the instruments that lay within.

Music al expression is a reflec tion of c ulture and identity. Just as c ities strive to preser ve ar t, literature and buildings, so should they tr y to preser ve their music al legac y, its histor y and its instruments. The proposal for this building does just this. The busk ing pavilions and c afe reinforc e and c elebrate the live per formanc es that intoxic ate Bristol; a buzzing and never still atmosphere surges into the already existing fabric as the c entral strong hold of Bristol’s live music sc ene. The fragmented and dynamic forms c reate a seduc tive atmosphere, tempting passer s by into the music al labyrinth. The sec ond phase of the building begins to intrigue the public to experienc e more formalised expressions of music . The adaptable c onc er t hall c an mould to fit different types of genres, from jazz to baroque. Here, the beginnings of preser vation tak e plac e, whereby rec ordings of the per formanc e are made and given to the audienc e. Lastly, the museum stands proud, punc hing out of the c itysc ape as a new beac on in Bristol’s music al sc ene. Music al instruments from the music al epoc hs of Britain’s histor y are exhibited for the public , inc ased in rooms whic h reflec t their timbre: wooden instruments live in wooden rooms, reflec ting their timbre ‘soul’, c reating a sense of intimac y. The rhythm of light seeping through the windows c omposes a route through the tower, c urating a c hronologic al time-line of the instruments’ histor y. The museum reinforc es and educ ates people’s music al k nowledge, allowing them to form a stronger under standing and memories of music when they end their journey, to experienc e beautiful music al piec es being played by instruments in their per fec ted ac oustic c onditions.
