The space collective project was an investigation of section and volumetric organization in a radically remote context, where basic
constraints such as gravity and horizon had to be reinvented. This semester we will tackle the equally complex architecture of an
earthbound institutional building in all its functional richness. As a building type, concert halls stage an array of activities and
concerns: they channel multiple crowds, orchestrate the spectacle of a performance each night, and serve as cultural and urban
monuments. Sited across from the Stadtoper on the Ring in Vienna, our project will integrate an additional set of complexities: a
tight urban site, central Vienna’s 19th century context, the typology of a ring building, and the landscape of both Karlsplatz and an
outdoor performance venue on the site.
As a result, we will begin by studying context in two senses: the site and state-of-the-art concert halls. Through a large, museumquality site model, we will gain an understanding of traffic and pedestrian flows, the topography of the ring and Karlsplatz, the
surrounding architecture of eclecticism and the interior organization of the Opera. At the same time, we will survey concert halls
in Vienna, Paris and elsewhere to understand how they orchestrate functional relationships including: seating to stage, hall to
lobby, massing to landscape, stage to back of house, circulation for performers and audience, front and back facades and acoustics. Over the course of the semester, we will move from massing and organization in the first weeks, to geometry and expression
on the facade by midterm. Finally, we will focus on the fine-grained functionality of the hall, lobby and other interior spaces. This
developing complexity over the course of the semester should result in contemporary architecture that is as multifaceted and rich
as its historical surroundings.
