Project Two : Peter Zumthor - Swiss Sound Box


 
Peter Zumthors ‘Swiss Sound Box’ is far more than simply a temporary pavilion; it is rather a series of interconnected spaces which aims to blur the boundary of individual spatial regions, to hence manipulate the standard experience of a responder. Spaces defined within 12 staples of an apparently random cross gridded nature; each space is in fact meticulously designed and constructed via the constraints and parameters of its function within the greater scheme. The overlapping of space creates a unique spatial environment which engages the responders complete range of senses in direct response to the architecture and the performance. The architecture begins to manipulate the responders experience further through the contortion of light for example in a natural, artificial and projected manner. Whilst the structural scheme portrays a sense of instability, as supported via the natural emphasis of the timbers materialistic properties; the overall scheme begins to convey a volumetric correlation. A correlation which simply portrays the direct relation between the responder, performance and architecture.
