The music festival architectural installation is an immersive structure that blends art, sound, and space. Towering at the entrance, it features a dynamic array of angular steel frames and translucent panels, designed to reflect and refract the festival’s vibrant lights and colors. The installation pulses with rhythm, incorporating sound-reactive elements that change shape and color in response to the music, creating an ever-evolving environment. Visitors are invited to wander through its labyrinthine pathways, experiencing a multisensory journey that enhances their connection to the festival’s energy. The structure serves not only as a visual spectacle but also as a symbol of the harmony between architecture, art, and music.

Jury Comments

– The proposal reimagines the concept of a string instrument as a public scukpture, which is a great concept. The form manages to create a srtiking visual that is in resonance with soundscapes. | Alejandro Saldarriaga

– simple, straight forwards, strong identity | Pascal Flammer
