Abstract

This project is about reshaping the current site of Museum of London in the City of London and proposing a new House of Music for the city as the new home for the London Symphony Orchestra since the Barbican Concert Hall is not sufficient any more. By continuing and extending the enclosed courts in the Barbican complex, a system of five courts, both interior ones and exterior ones, are created on site to host and communicate different functions. And by treating the ground of the project as a theatrical stage, it provides the possibility for the public to be also engaged in the complex. The topographical ground also negotiates the different height levels on site and therefore open up the Barbican highwalk system back to the city.
