Tokyo Music Centre by Synesthetic Architecture
Abstract
Harajuku Culture is Japanesse Modern Culture that dynamically developed
among the traditional culture. Harajuku Culture shows the freedom of personal
expression as responses to environments and personal feelings. Harajuku
Culture is so dynamic and experimental depends on the subject. Music is
audial human expressions, showed by singings or any music instruments.
Music has developed dynamically and can be enjoyed by anyone and anywhere
as the effect of technological developments.
Tokyo Music Center offers dynamic musical-spatial experience like Harajuku
Culture does. Synesthetic Architecture is determined as basic concept which
connects three issues: sensual experience, personal expressions and
dynamic-experimental design.
Synesthesia is a neurological condition which stimulation of one sensory or
cognitive pathway leads to automatic-involuntary experiences in a second
sensory or cognitive pathway. Synesthestic approach on architecture
positioned the building as a Synesthete: the subject that receive a stimulation
and express it into a dynamic-spatial experience as an expression.
Tokyo Music Center design is equipped by building sensor systems that
capture audio signals and manifest them into Audience Moving Seats.
Audience Seats rotate slowly around the stage based on audio signals received
with Magnetic Levitation technology. Audience Seats Movement and Zero-
Gravity Dome Stage give audiences 360 degrees perspective to the
performance. Music is a dynamic art, so that Tokyo Music Centre by
Synesthetic Architecture gives unstatic music Performance.
