Abstract

The Public Building studio studies the importance of the public domain within the built environment and the atmospheres formed around the relations between individuals and/or groups and the designed building. The task is to design architecture for music, and these atmospheres will now include a very important cultural factor in the determination of their value. Architects will assume the
position that is defined by participation in the revitalization of culture for all users of the space. Individuals’ understandings of culture will be detached from their biological nature and patterns of emotional behavior through the use of virtual technologies that will help each person explore their own external consciousness. One that is independent of previous knowledge and experience and reacting only to a manifestation of isolated synesthetic experiences.

This design is embodied through the ephemeral architectural form that challenges subjectivity in design by including all users of the space in the never-ending process that provides this building with an ever-changing appearance. The architect stops acting as a sculptor of that which is built. Instead he creates a mechanism that shapes the building based on the data collected from all users. The users are participants in architectural expression and the public building is now made by the public.
