SITE ANALYSIS

there? Is it because it is so
tight and there seems to be
nothing for anyone to hide
behind? I dont really know.
It feels like a fairytale land
though. It really does. So
many people around but
its a bunch of older people
or others on holiday it feels
like. Im not sure what to do
with it. Well see.
Upon my initial impressions
of the site, I thought it looked
small and was not quite sure if
there was enough space to place
a thesis project on it. However,
I now believe there definitely
is. The building that was there
before was a five story hostel
and had some shops on the first
floor. The site is surrounded by
different shops and restaurants
and is down the street from two

STRUCTURE
Going along The Chord, the
larger floor plates begin to look
like pristine white keys cutting
through the entire building
from front to back. In order
to preserve the holistic nature
of the way they are viewed
through such an open plan, it
was necessary to separate smaller
spaces from the larger floor
structures. This is noticeable
in the conference room, where
the floor appears to be floating
and the glass does not touch
the ceiling. This element of a
floating floor gives the effect
of notes on top of the larger
structure. This differs however,
on the third floor (the studio
spaces), where the notes appear
as isolated boxes sunken into the
keys of the main floor structures.

NOTES
1. Though the quote does reference something I said to someone when I first traveled to
Bruges, it is a quote taken directly from the movie In Bruges. The first paragraph describes a
mix between what was described during a scene in the movie and how I view the city during
the initial moments we encountered it.
2. The term polymath is defined as a person of great learning in several different fields of
study (polymath, 2014). Kirchers study of music and sound made up only a small portion
of his body of work. The amount of writings and research he created has been unparalleled
since his lifetime. See Oedipus Aegyptiacus, one of his most notable works.
3. These ideas are set up and elaborated on through the writings of several different
astronomers, philosophers and theorists in Joscelyn Godwins book Harmony of the Spheres.
5. Until quite recently, music was not something that was experienced through a
written form, it was only something that could be understood through physically
hearing or feeling the music itself. This new way of experiencing the music requires
the viewer to imagine the experience of the sound based on what they already know
about musical notation. This, of course, is quite similar to architectural drawings, as a
certain type of knowledge and translation is necessary in order to view the simple lines
and understand what they represent, a built form. While architectural and musical
notation are definitely forms in which we can begin to understand their respective
physical manifestations, it must be noted that we are still moved by the spaces and
things they represent, more than the notation itself.
4. Excerpt from Reinhard Strohms book Music in Late Medieval Bruges explaining the seven
hours of the day in which people of medieval Bruges would pray:
180
The rhythm of urban life conforms to the churchs calendar. The three greater hours
(matins with lauds, vespers and compline) mark the beginning and the end of the day, and
the four lesser hours (prime, terce, sext and none) divide the working day into four equal
segments. Everyone is aware of these seven hours, as they are announced by the churchbells. The townspeople are reminded to pray the Seven Hours of the Dead on Monday,
of the Holy Ghost on Tuesday, of the Trinity on Wednesday, of the Holy Sacrament on
Thursday, of the Holy Cross on Friday, of Our Lady on Saturday and Our Lord on Sunday.
