Anti-Stage Architectural Proposal

ANTI STAGE PORTFOLIO . SPRING 2021 NAVID GHAFOURI

The project investigates the musical stage as a ground for the exploration of new possibilities that can alter our understanding of musical performance by spatializing music through the tools of architecture and achieving the outcomes of it.

These artefacts can get together and be attached to each other in different configurations to create new typologies of event spaces.

The sectional scenography of the extractor is illustrated in this drawing. I tried to reveal the underlying potential of simoltineus horizontal and vertical performative conditions, which is not only activated through music, but also through the choreography of human bodies who are interacting with these artefacts;

And by moving and placing these structures on the edge conditions, blurring the boundary between inside/outside, domestic/public and performer/ observer.

The radicality of this proposal is not on the structure, nor the movement of the paino. In fact, the structure with the piano needs human bodies to complete the stage.
