How architecture works | In tune In David Byrne's book How Music Works, there is a chapter about 'How to built a stage'. This text will function as a starting point for the Summerschool ‘Think, build and play 2.0’ After last years pilot project on Orizu, ‘Think, build and play’ will be continued in an even more playful way. The task will be about building stages: stages to perform on with music or at least sound! The stages will also at the same time connect places, functions and atmospheres. Through 5 installations on 5 different spots in Orizu we will built a new context, a festival where music and architecture come together. ‘Tuning’ is about bringing your instrument in tune so that different notes can work together. After tuning the music can be transferred to the audience. So ‘architectural tuning’ is about catching the right vibrations, transform them into acoustic space and transcend them through into surrounding/contextual space. The architect becomes both piano-tuner and concert-pianist at the same time. This will be the start of a architecture music festival which will take place in an area of vibrations. We will deal with these circumstances in a positive way. This first edition will take place by building a mini festival through 5 stages ! Bring your instruments and your voices and test your selfbuilt stage! In ‘Think, build and play 2.0’ on Orizu… Contexts – please absorb them 1 – How Music Works – David Byrne (excerpt) we see this text as a program for use (programma voor gebruik – vertaling?)
