The Academy of Music and Arts was conceived as a space to able to study various artistic disciplines: music, arts, theater, dance. The shape is formed by two white L-shaped volumes that surrounds the red volume of the two performance halls – between a window display of the building towards the street. Until now, most children of the region have studied in improvised places - old schools that haven’t been built in accordance with the technical needs of the discipline. Looking to close the gap of poorly planned educational facilities, the newly formed institution includes the spaces for extra-curricular activities like music, theatre, dance, drawing, painting, graphics, sculpture, new media and performance arts. I also wanted to be a polarizing element of the area, a kind of small cultural center. Therefore it "spins" around the festival halls (red volume) and public space beneath it.Celebration Hall has 192 seats and trim and compliance geometry of space contributes to a sound that allows the development of several types of performances: classical, pop, rock, theater, choreography.The red volume is floating independently over the forum space and hosts the two performance halls, a small one for chamber music and a 200-seat hall for bigger concerts or events, with the entrance through a small bridge. The most distinctive space is the forum from the underground, the central space of the school. It’s a flexible space. Its skin is transparent towards interior and exterior. The light comes from everywhere, also through a skylight that articulate the white and red volumes. It can be enlarged with the foyer and the drawing and painting space from the ground floor, but also towards the exterior through two performance terraces which link the forum with the street. It can be a space for public meetings, various exhibitions, conferences, courses etc.
