DISSONANT MEASURES

A CULTURAL AND RECREATION CENTER IN TREMONT, OHIO

DISSONANT MEASURES is a cultural and recreation center located in Tremont, Ohio that emphasizes the notion of dissonance as an architectural term and physical experience.

Through separating contrasting programs and using dramatic proportions and clashing forms, it creates a sense of tension and disunity within an urban environment, defined as the dissonant experience. The use of curvilinear versus rectilinear geometry to distinguish differing program uses, the lack of visual connections, and the striking height of the building compared to its context makes the project stand out as a dissonant experience within the city.
