The Spirit of Music:
The theme of music is central to this project. Thus, the intertwining of functions, the ambiguous definition of the building's footprint, the strong presence of the ceremonial courtyard, the surprising transparency of the "crystal garden", the splendor of the concert hall, the liveliness of the performance art area are understood and appreciated through the unveiling of many experiences, anticipations and memories.
The complex is a place in the city: a street, a public square, a memory. The building is conceived as a veil surrounding the site. Its enigmatic presence defines the place while leaving it free.
