Université Laval, Quebec, Canada
Project Name: Training Center for Traditional Musicians
Q. Tell us about your design:
A. “The Training Center for Traditional Musicians stands as an emblematic structure where architecture and music converge harmoniously. Its facades pay tribute to musical variations, presenting a captivating visual experience. Flowing lines and elegant curves evoke the rhythm and melody of music, with architectural forms intertwining organically. This dynamic visual composition mirrors the variations and nuances of music, making the facades appear to dance to the rhythm, thus forging a profound visual connection between architectural design and musical artistry.“
Q. What’s your favorite aspect of your design?
A. “My favorite aspect of this design is the rhythmic facade, which recalls the holes of a flute. This particular feature creates a strong and poetic visual connection with music, symbolizing the interaction between breath and sound. It beautifully illustrates how architecture can imitate the elements of a musical instrument, thus reinforcing the theme of the building and offering a rich sensory experience for visitors.“
