Leeds Metropolitan site: Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK University Post Grad Project Yr 1
An in depth look into a single university building, as part of a masterplan aimed to improve the civic quarter in Leeds City Centre. The building name is a fitting tribute to the band ‘The Music’, who started their careers in Yorkshire and with the rise of past bands in mind, the facilities aim to provide a hub for the university students and a center for large events (pre Academy). Using the composition of internal features (such as lights) against the striped colored glazing to the Portland Way elevation, it creates the illusion of bouncing notes, through the different strengths of refraction, as people pass by.
