Order through analogy: a music school

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This project represents a continuous search for an understanding of order and totality in architecture. Through consideration of the ideas inherent in music and in mathematics, I realized order in architecture is not only enriching to the project but critically necessary. The task then became to translate these ideas from the realms of music and mathematics to the realm of architecture. The design of this music school is a manifestation of these ideas and has been a generator for further study.
