Project Proposal #4 ASHRAM Audio Sensitive Holistic Research Architectural Model

The governing concpet behind this particular project is Kinesthetic Architectonics in the service of the production of sounds that... See More are intended to have a calming meditative effect. The end goal is to have this be an interactive environment like in a video game, except the action is directed toward engaging the structure directly to manifest a direct connection between the viewer and the model to move it beyond artifice or representation and cull forth a psychological state in which one's engagement with the virtual environment overpowers that of the 'real' space in which the piece is installed.

The symmetry is used as an anthropomorphic device. The idea is that once you enter the structure, you fill it and it becomes an extension of your body, which is housed within a geometrically symmetrical membrane itself. I'm using brutalist architecture because I have a nostalgiac connection to it since a lot of the University structures at UT, ... See Morewhere my dad used to work, were built in the 60's and 70's and I spent a lot of time in and around them. I feel a great sense of peace and alignment being in their presence, and the direction I've been taking my music lately has been geared toward simulating that sensation.
