PULLMAN’S Music Venue + Restaurant
In celebration of Pullman’s rich, yet forgotten musical history, Pullman’s Live Music Venue and Restaurant continues to foster pride within a thriving cultural and artistic community, while providing the opportunity to collaborate and share experiences with neighbors and outside visitors through education and entertainment.
The restaurant, bar, and music venue is a space for celebration. In this space, residents and visitors strengthen their sense of belonging and connection with each other and their surroundings. The educational wing has the power to inspire. This is a place where one can explore, create, and learn right in their own neighborhood. These individual spaces are a lot like musical notes. On their own, they are a single representation of musical sound, but when two or more differently pitched notes are played simultaneously, harmony occurs, sounding like one, single entity.

POST PANDEMIC LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
This environment is focused on active learning and capturing the co-creative environment that’s lacking in a post pandemic world.
Inspired by film strips, the interior is designed to translate the language just how a series of images would that have each captured a special moment related to the human experience. Curvature, room transparency, and other architecture elements support this boxed vignette concept by showcasing collaborative stories amongst vibrant, creative, and energetic students and faculty. High contrast of light and value and symmetry paired with transparent materials, offer an opportunity for the sun to change the space and control shadows and shapes, just how the sun exposes film.
