firmness, delight, and commodity BLOG POST #4

FIRMNESS

 The music building stands three stories tall  and contains roughly 130,000 square feet. It is very strong in it's stance and its unique circular structure houses an organ chamber that amplifies a listener's experience by being surrounded by the music of which the building is all about. It houses

room upon room of rehearsal areas where people can practice their music to the best of their ability. The building is made of stone signifies its strength and firmness. The circles that are found throughout the music building through the usage of columns, tiles, and great architecture help signify the unity that music amplifies across the UNCG campus.  

DELIGHT

Music in general has a calm, peaceful, and almost poetic essence. The way that the building is set up helps the flow of the building mimic and resemble that of music notes flowing off of a page. The building stands tall and is very unique in its shape and composure just like music. The building

brings delight to all who enter because it is a place where one can express themselves in many different ways.

 

COMMODITY

This building is used in so many ways on the UNCG campus. It allows for a soothing environment for students to express themselves throughout the medium of music. It houses a place where creativity is welcome and where students can feel free to practice music at pretty much any given time. It allows room for not only learning but for self exploration. It is a place where musicis the universal language; a place where music is all that is needed.

Axis

Throughout the campus there is an axis that runs directly through the center.  A long bridge is a continuation of the axis in which it ends at the music building on this side of the campus. Directly opposite lies the Curry building which is education and on the opposing directions lay the library and the Stone building. I feel that the placement of this building is very important because without the subjects of which these buildings contain education itself could not exist. The music building stands tall in its significance that music is an integral part of our everyday lives.
