Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1996.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 58).
Architecture and music share the same vocabularies: rhythm, proportion, harmony, repetition, contrast, etc, and contain similar structure in terms of composition and spatial characteristics, Given these parallels, how can music principles be used to create and inform architectural compositions? The intent of this thesis is to investigate the relationship of these two art forms, seeking to establish a methodology through repetition, displacement, contrast, transition and other devices, which enables an understanding of the inherent nature of both, In order to generate the analogies of architecture and music, a multi-use art center will be the instrument through which the dynamics of architectural composition will be created, This new cultural facilities, containing the programmatic elements: art galleries, exposition space, and an auditorium will be located near the Dorchester Bay in New Squantum in North Quincy, Massachusetts, As the outcome of this exploration, this multi-use art center will establish the consciousness of memory which provides people with a variety of spatial experiences while moving through a sequence of spaces.
