THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MUSIC AND ARCHITECTURE MAY SEEM DISSONANT, BUT THEY SHARE SEVERAL FUNDAMENTAL VALUES, INCLUDING RHYTHM, ENERGY, HARMONY, AND TEXTURE
DESIGN STATEMENT
Fuel aims to explore the relationship between music and architecture, and how the dynamic interplay of their values can be translated into a physical space. Music often evokes a deep emotional response. Fuel intends to explore this notion within the built environment by designing a space that urges interaction and evokes a similar emotional response when experienced.
Through exploring the shared values of music and architecture, Fuel aims to push the boundaries of design in unique and unexpected ways by blending the intangible qualities of sound with the tangibility of physical space. This design aims to delve into the intricate relationship between music and architecture, examining how their connection can be seamlessly translated into a physical environment. Fuel moves beyond the ordinary, inviting people to feel, explore, and connect with the space on an emotional and visceral level.
