Given the dynamic nature of the area surrounding the Howard Smith site, I have decided to design somewhat of a musical performance space. I feel that it would effectively accentuate the cultural ties the site holds with the surrounding areas.
I also think that it would be a very appropriate function given the perpetual shift towards digital equipment and practices in both the creation and performance of today's music. For example:
The natural slope bounding the site to the North would not only offer elevated views of live performances but may also maximize the acoustic qualities of musical acts within the Howard Smith site itself. Considerations could be made to employ some sort of semi open stage that is able to be seen from both outside and inside the building itself. Or, alternatively, angled screens may be installed on the upper level of the structure to offer uninterrupted views of musical performances from the site's elevated extremities.
