Culturally homogenised Chinatown

Within a predominantly commercialized precinct, the school is situated at the crossroads of the old and new. As a hot tourist spot, the Chinatown precinct speaks loud and vibrant — diluting the streets with popular international music day and night. Like the rest of the world, the precinct is progressively experiencing the homogenization of culture — one of it through music.

Audience Reach | Influencing authentic melodies

Lifestyle trend of users | How will users perceive spaces?

What if architecture brings up the binary opposites of lifestyle trends into favorable destination realms

for one to slow down amidst hecticness?

The Vision of Adagio, School of Music

Adagio aims to create destination realms that complement the essentials of education and the general fast-paced lifestyle trend. It brings about a place to gather, contemplate, and slow down amidst a fast-paced environment.

i. Idea of ‘driven voids of light’ for spatial modulation — i.e. creating a central circuit of connection across departments, strategic openings to induce chance encounters between disciplines, and passively illuminating & cooling the surrounding.

ii. Zoning activities based on their varying needs of natural daylighting.
