Design Process:

The performance room will have a sliding wall, which can be opened during festival. More people can stand outside and watch the performance.

And here is the detail section of the sliding wall.

Space arrangement design process.

 

Trying to figure out arrangements of all spaces and the relationship between each space. Also considering what the form of building look like.

About the shape of the building, I am thinking to make it looks like a grand piano. Piano is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world, widely used for solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment. Piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments. As result the Grand Piano is adapted into the design of the musical centre and be main musical attraction for the village.

The final site location will be located in Festival Valley.

The Festival Valley is the centre of the village's attraction it has the easiest access to all other sectors, consist of many thing to do and see. The red area shows the location of the music centre, which is a large spatial area surrounding the building allowing these spaces to be occupied when needed. The building is surrounded by nature and is distinctive from the surrounding buildings. To emphasise the importance of the building.

Week 9 Design Logs

The music centre will be separated into two categories, public and private.
Public: Perfomance Room, Reception, Cafe, Toilets
Private: Musical Teaching Studio, Back Stage, Storage

Here is the idea of site location.

Week 8 Design Logs

As woodfordia site has water shortage, so my last week idea is not suitable for our site, and Murray suggested me to focus on one thing, such as music. Design something about music is a good idea as musical performances are one of the most important attractive points in Woordford Folk Festival. And I will also keep one idea, 'not only having fun, but also learning something'.

So I came up this idea, Music Museum.

And my story will be a family (mom, dad, and two kids) come to Woodfordia Vacation Village in the weekend. After hard working durning week days, mom and dad want to get rid of urban life, they want to relax, have fun, and also they want their kids to learn something while playing. In Woodfordia Vacation Village, they are close to nature, they can feel the tranquility of nature. They are enjoying the natural living house, those entertainments and mucial performances. They visit the Music Museum and understand the mucial history in Woodford Folk Festival. And their kids also get some experience of musical instruments and primary education of instruments. After that, they buy some CDs for themselves, and a Ukulele for their kids. They have a happy and fulfilling weekend in Woodfordia Vacation Village.
