STATEMENT Project Title:

The SoundGarden

OF DESIGN INQUIRY

/Project Subtitle: “Music Venue & Bar”

Scope of your project:

Who will it serve? My design will facilitate millennial driven—youth oriented-urban culture located Washington DC. For this kind of crowd, stylistic aspects include: contemporary and modern features.

Who is your client? My clients are early 30’s entrepreneurs who have experience in the nightlife scene and retail. After seeing poorly design music spaces and bars, the owner decided to have a space designed that provides a synesthetic experience for its patrons.

Who is the target user group? The target users for this facility will be locals from the surrounding neighborhood of Trinidad, NoMa, and H Street NE as well as international visitors. Because there is a retail component to the space, users have the experience of buying products as well as utilizing the recording studio which supports my daytime programming.

What activities and functions are being accommodated? The function of the space will be divided into several parts: Bar and Lounge, Performance, Music Store, Repair Shop, Practice Spaces & Studio facility.

DESIGN GOALS MY GOALS FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO:

1.

Create a Music Bar & Lounge venue to meet multiple music interests of its patrons.

2.

Support the identity of the Trinidad area by giving it a musical presence which will contribute to the redevelopment of this transitioning neighborhood.

ACOUSTICAL RESONANCE

• Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon that consists of a given acoustic system amplifying a sound whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies).

• The term acoustic resonance is sometimes used to narrow mechanical resonance to the frequency range of human hearing, but since acoustics is defined in general terms concerning vibrational waves in matter acoustic resonance can occur at frequencies outside the range of human hearing.

• An acoustically resonant object usually has more than one resonance frequency, especially at harmonics of the strongest resonance. It will easily vibrate at those frequencies, and vibrate less strongly at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance.

• Acoustic resonance is also important for hearing. For example, resonance of a stiff structural element, called the basilar membrane within the cochlea of the inner ear allows hair cells on the membrane to detect sound. The use of sound engages people and allows them to respond based on their experiences.

SPATIAL PERCEPTION Human spatial perception is a sensual experience of the world we inhabit. While this process of experience draws on all of our senses by varying degrees, the process of design has long preference the visual at the expense of other modes of perception. Today’s architects, acousticians, and environmental analysts are coming to realize that the relationship between architecture and sound has been neglected for too long.

“…the rough-granite-clad surfaces of the bath made the sound of mere breathing audible. Further vocal tuning would allow each inhabitant to quickly find the sympathetic resonance between body and space by humming slowly through a range of different frequencies. After adding our own frequencies to the impromptu performance we really didn’t want to leave this powerful space that coddled our bodies in a vibrating medium of air…”

The applications for responsive designs are quite prevalent and gives us a greater appreciation for the design process. As designers, the responsibility is ours to engage the effects and affects created by our designs. Our understanding of these potentials must be explored.

PRECEDENT/CASE STUDIES TREEHOUSE LOUNGE – NE DC

BLACK CAT – 14 STREET NW DC

ROCK-N-ROLL HOTEL – H SREET NE DC

The current site of TreeHouse Lounge is appropriate for my project. The address is 1006 Florida Ave Ne. This area is undergoing a lot of development which is in close proximity to the H Street NE area that has been completely revitalized and now draws people, especially young professionals, back into Washington DC. My site is framed with historical significance to Florida Avenue, Gallaudet University and H Street. I came to the realization that TreeHouse would be a great location to use for my design project. I can take the good and bad and design a cohesive space that works functionally and abstractly. Black Cat, Rock-N-Roll Hotel, and Velvet Lounge all have a music identity in the DC area, TreeHouse Lounge does not. By using this for my site, not only do I want to create a venue that appeals to the local area and provide music services that are currently not available to the Trinidad neighborhood.

The overall impression of the clubs, lounges, bars, and music venues stems from a few things; business model, marketing, schematic design, and the culture or crowd that is being catered to. For instance, TreeHouse Lounge located in NE DC is a music/bar venue. Unlike some other facilities, they don’t serve food, nor do they have a built-in clientele. This in essence hurts this particular business as the owners bank on making money from the sell of the door as well as alcoholic drinks served to an audience over 21. However, you have clubs such as Ultrabar, Eden, and Capitale that are little more sophisticated and attracts a particular crowd—most party people or those who love to stay out over night. In essence the success truly comes from those who experience the space and then in turn bring others to share in that same experience, atmosphere, or feeling.

Appropriately named Sens8 will stimulate and engage my end users and provide a synesthetic experience that will make this building a special place to come to. And each visit is a new experience.

VELVET LOUNGE – U STREET NW DC

MUSIC VENUES TreeHouse Lounge -TreeHouse Lounge is a micro dive bar located at the end of Florida Ave in Washington DC. The owner is helping the music scene stay alive in DC by offering beginner bands shows.

The Good: It's a venue that has a very open door policy without ticket presales, has a House drum kit (though cheap) and has a very basic PA system. They have SM58 mics and a mixer in the back near the bar. It is essentially the first level on a Guitar Hero game but not as dirty. There's very little pressure to sell out and there are no ticket presales. There are often other bands that are booked so relax or get your friend's bands to come too. The owner is a very down to earth relaxed man who chain smokes as much as he smiles. Good guy doing good work helping out with music.

The Bad: The only area available is upstairs. It seats about 30 people MAX. There aren't many places to sit but there is some standing room. The House PA is very limited with two large PA speakers on the sides but no monitors as there is only enough room for a Drummer in the corner and 2 people on stage. 4 Piece bands push the limits. Because of the small stage with a partial wall blocking don't expect to be able to hear each other well. It's mostly a practice for anyone trying to play in the area who is local. Overall this is a place for locals and singer songwriters alone to play. Full bands, loud bands or anyone trying to make a good impression to friends with long drives have different better suited places to go to.

However For those trying to get practice and break in I recommend as it's very little pressure, cheap and definitely more personal.

DEOMOGRAPHIC STUDY

SURROUNDING AREA

GALLUDET UNIVERSITY Gallaudet University, the American national university for the deaf, is located at 800 Florida Avenue NE. The campus consists of a unique collection of Victorian and Queen Anne style buildings on grounds with a landscape design

by Frederick Law Olmstead. The five most popular majors are business, visual and performing arts, communication studies, physical education, and psychology. Gallaudet University offers thirty graduate programs in ten Departments as well as on-line and on-campus continuing education courses.

H STREET NE The H Street NE/NW neighborhood was one of Washington's earliest and busiest commercial districts, and was the location of the first Sears Roebuck store in Washington. H Street NE went into decline after World War II and businesses in the corridor were severely damaged during the 1968 riots. This part of the street did not start to recover until the 21st century.

H Street NE rapidly gentrified after 2007. The median sales price of houses on or near H Street NW from July to September 2009 was $417,000.H Street NE was voted the sixth most hipster place in America

by Forbes magazine in September 2012. This process of gentrification led to tensions with some previous residents, who felt that they were becoming less welcome as the neighborhood changed and worried about being priced out.

FLORIDA AVE NE Florida Avenue helps to define several neighborhoods in the District of Columbia. From 9th Street NW, Florida Avenue follows a straight line to its eastern terminus at the "Starburst intersection" of H Street NE, 15th Street NE, Maryland Avenue NE, Benning Road NE, and Bladensburg Road NE.

14 STREET/H STREET & FLORIDA NE DC

The owners of 1402-1406 H St. NE have filed a request to raze three, two-story commercial buildings to make way for the proposed 28-unit residential project with ground floor retail at the triangular intersection of 14th Street, H Street and Florida Avenue, NE. Mehari Sequar is developing the site with designs by PGN Architects into a mixed-use project, currently pending a final order of approval from the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The project, known as 1401 Florida Avenue, as proposed would not include any parking though 21 spots would typically be required for a building of its size.

301 FLORIDA AVE NE DC

Ditto Residential and Zusin Development have plans to redevelop 301 Florida Avenue NE. The lot currently houses a liquor store and a Penske truck depot. Working with local architecture firm, Dep Designs, the developers plan to build an eight-story, 71,000 square foot apartment building with seven stories of residential and ground floor retail. Construction set to begin late 2016.

SITE ANALYSIS MILLENNIAL’S LIVING IN DC

NARRATIVES/SURVEY MILLENNIAL’S MONTHLY RENT

The demographic that virtually every industry seems to be obsessed with these days is the millennial generation. The DC chapter of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) recently surveyed this age group in the region on a variety of topics including housing and transportation.

The survey analyzed responses from approximately 1,350 residents in the DC region between the ages of 20 and 37. (For what it’s worth, UrbanTurf thinks the cut-off age of 37 is a little high for inclusion in the millennial generation.)

The takeaways from the survey were many, but by and large, the generation in the area rents, but wants to buy, does not need a car to get around, prioritizes walkability, and plans to stick around the region for awhile.

A few highlights from the survey: •67 percent of those surveyed currently rent, and 46 percent plan to buy a home in the next three years.

•13 percent of those that rent live in studios; 38 percent live in one-bedrooms.

•Just over half of those surveyed have rents below $2,000 a month.

•60 percent of those surveyed want to remain inside the Beltway for at least three years; •Although two-thirds of those surveyed own a car, a higher number of respondents say walkability is the best attribute of where they live, and 65 percent said Metro access is among their top three reasons for selecting or staying in their current location.

•60 percent of homeowners surveyed lived in DC; 17 percent moved into DC from the suburbs.

INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS (1) REVITALIZATION OF FLORIDA AVENUE

REVITALIZATION OF GALLUDET UNIVERSITY

NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT REVITALIZATION OF FLORIDA AVENUE With the revitalization of Florida Avenue, H Street, and the modernizations of Gallaudet University this area is becoming a thriving nest of urban culture, storefronts, placement, and construction and development. I concluded that this would be a great area to design a space.

As the surrounding neighborhoods of NoMa and H Street continue to develop and flourish, more youngsters are renting or buying –fixing their eyes on this geographical location. Within the past year more local businesses and residences have taken root. I want to capitalize from this opportunity by creating a music venue that will become an identifying marker for those in the area as Trinidad transitions into a distinguishable neighborhood.

INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS (2) WASHINGTON DC MUSIC VENUES – STUDY OF VENUE LOCATION

POPULATION DENSITY

1. Music venues are geographically clustered. 60% of music venues in the United States are located within 5 miles of another venue. Analysis shows that these "neighborhood clusters" often have a consistent mix of small/medium/large locales, which presumably cater to artists of differing popularity. This clustering trend is apparent in the city-level graphs shown above; certain avenues and neighborhoods contain nearly all of a city's venues. It is likely that venues congregate due to specific sound ordinances in cities, which also has the positive outcome of proximity to bars and clubs.

2. More people = More Music. This might seem like a no-brainer but it's interesting to see the effect of population density on the availability of music venues. To explore this, I mapped each venue in the SeatGeek data set to its respective FIPS code (think ZIP code but better) and pulled in 2010 US Census Bureau population counts.

A major benefit of life in DC is the vibrant music scene. Generally speaking, ticket prices are reasonable, and the wide offering of venue sizes makes the city an attractive addition to the tour schedules of both big-name artists and those yet to be found.

% of Venues by # Neighboring Venues Neighboring venues defined as any location within 5 miles.

More populated areas are more likely to have more venues, a trend clearly seen on the All United States map at the start of the post - larger cities are easily accessible to musicians via air and highway and have the greatest concentration of music fans. (The Pearson correlation between population and number of venues within a FIPS area is .82 with a p-value of 0.000.)

Population heavy areas (cities) don't cost more per ticket than less populated areas ('burbs/country). There is no statistical relationship between population size and average ticket price. Concert cost is relatively consistent across venues nationally, likely due to nation wide tours maintaining prices between cities. This observation's extension into the real world is, however, fairly limited by the data set which contains mostly city-based venues. Perhaps with a larger/historic data set we could see just the opposite trend with time series analysis.

INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS (3) Design-Polemical Theory—Abstract thought; new norm

ARCHITECTURAL THEORY

I began my research with preexisting notions of how I thought this kind of design would carry out the implications of sound, acoustics, and lighting – that would define the spatial organization of my building to create a unique design. Linda N. Groat and Davis Wang (designers) talk about architectural methods and theories building to design applications. These purposes have to Do with both the contextual backdrop of the study and the goals of the research itself. The contextual purposes answer questions such as: What motivates this research? Who is the audiences? What the anticipated impacts, or contributions, of the outcomes of the research? Paired with these contextual questions are questions related to the theoretical purposes for the research. Is it to create new theory? Or does it expand an existing theory either by refining it or applying to the new venues? And if this project is to culminate in a design, how does it relate to the use of theory?

Lastly, what are the lasting impressions and implications of this project and what realistic applications that will successfully express your concept.

THE POLEMICAL CHALLENGES THE NORMATIVE IN ORDER TO TEST NEW IDEAS AND ESTABLISH NEW NORMS. I want to establish a new norm for the Trinidad neighborhood by creating a space that is new and creates an Identity for my site.

Common practice that strives for Identity today is more or less tall buildings with curvilinear glittering planes. Less common, is the one that is slowly germinating from environmental awareness which in turn touches upon traditional values in a subtle way. More interestingly, the less frequently practiced type of identity is proving profitable ventures for their clients. Investors are gradually accepting the new language for it brings them prestige.

This joining of the information received by one sense to a perception in another sense is the essence of the architectural thinking that ought to take place during the drafting preceding the constructing a building. Architectural concerns in matter(s), material substances or material beings and their transformations and transubstantiations in the built world can be recognized through a synesthetic view of the drawing procedures. In drawing, the stimulation of one sensory modality reliably causes a perception in one or more different senses.

CONCEPT (PRELIMINARY) Contemplation –to look carefully, consider deeply; moment of reflection

PARTI

ORDERING

DIAGRAMS & STATEMENT My thesis explores acoustical resonance and the intricacies of space and how it impacts social, behavior, and psychological encounters. The space serves main these functions: Bar and Lounge, Karaoke, Performance, and Studio. In addition to these functions, the venue will provide several music-oriented services which purpose is to unify and offer these services in one location. My intent is for the users to experience social interactions through the union of music through listening and engagement. I want to create a music venue that integrates various aspects of design that support the identity of the Trinidad neighborhood in NE DC. My design will be demonstrated in the form of a “soundgarden”. The soundgarden is a contemplative space that allows all levels of music lovers the privacy and exclusivity to enjoy various aspects of their interests and gives musical control and access to the patrons.

CONCEPT (DEVELOPED) Contemplation – Dimensions of Design

INSPIRATION

Three Dimensions of Design

The Visceral level is obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation. This level is influenced significantly by appearance, texture and sound of objects.

The Behavioral level refers to the actions or reactions of a person, usually in relation to the environment, to an object or person. Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert and voluntary or involuntary. This level is about functionality and is influenced by pleasure and effectiveness of use (accessibility and usability).

The Reflective level refers to the capability of quiet thought or contemplation. This level is influenced strongly by self-image, satisfaction, memory and the meaning of things. This level becomes more important as products mature.
