Spiral Quartet
Englewood Cliffs, NJ, United States
The 18th century writer and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once compared architecture to “frozen music.” I have understood Goethe’s comment as revealing an underlying connection between the two different art forms, that they can share the principle of order in composition, harmony, and creative inspiration. Although the two disciplines mainly rely on different sensibilities-one visual and the other hearing-I believe they can both communicate a sense of harmony and beauty through a sense of intertwining sensibilities, thus architecture can possibly have a ‘visual rhythm and harmony’ and thus “play a spatial music.”
Typically corridor spaces are treated with minimal attention to spatial experience of unifying various users. The corridor binds the 15,000 SF office area with the music studio located in the center, re-imagining a public walkway which reflects the idea of musical composition derived from the central music studio on the corridor to create a unique interior space. The four elevations-side, floor, and ceiling-of the hallway are understood as equal counterparts with architectural elements as notes-doors, lighting fixtures, niche motifs and so on.
The band is an abstract expression of 3-dimensionally connected lines of music sheets that eventually lead the users to the music studio in the center. With the quartet of the architectural elements, the movement of the user activates the interior space, playing a vibrant music of the space.
