Last week and this week was I was mostly engaged with the site considerations for the music facility. Though not fully happy about it, Downtown seemed like the best place for maximum exposure, easy access, culturally well defined already...but it was not enough! While talking to Jorge today, I expressed my doubts about this site and, in passing conversation, my fascination with mobile architecture. As our attention turned down that avenue, Jorge asked me to do some deep research on this idea. Here's the verdict:
Going Mobile would fulfill my objectives of appealing to the masses on its maximum level, while offering every part of san diego, southern california, the state, the nation, and even beyond a higher chance of experiencing music through this facility, instead of statically placing it in Downtown San Diego. Picture this: Your home town agrees to have the Traveling Sound Lab (as its called for now) for friday thru sunday, featuring music lessons, lectures, and free-playing times during the day and musical performances during the night. Now you know its not going to stay around like a permanent building would, so you take advantage of it and go see it before it moves to the next city.
This idea also frees up the space into a more simplified version (program currently in the making) and the site...a parking lot is all thats needed!!
Now before I get too excited, I must consider the constraints that this naturally creates, such as construction, it better be simple, building materials, and acoustics. These three especially will be hurdles to research my way through.
Think its too far out there? There are some precedence studies that I will be conducting this week among others. Stay tuned.
