The urban pleasure garden is defined through a soundscape where visual and auditory experiences engages the user with the introduction of sound into architectural design. The archive building located beneath the landscape consists of a research centre for musicians and students from the Royal College of Music.
The differences between the senses of sight and sound is described through all elements of the project. The sound mirrors visually reflect the surroundings with sectional profiles that reveal the physics behind the sound making. The amphitheatre, modelled at true scale to the original Epidaurus in Greece, is seen as an expression of perfect sound while the said perfect auditory qualities are experienced through an auditorium located alongside this visual representation. Additional and ancillary facilities whether programmatic, circulatory and/or experiential are all designed to enhance the understanding of sound in relation to different spatial forms.
