Music & Architecture Unite in Design : The Design of Healing Spaces for a Music Park in Stanley Park Peekeekoot, Brent

Abstract

The belief that there is something more imaginable in the gift of music. A hope that there is more to the logic of how the built environment is manifested. The intention of this project is to capture how music shares a vital role with how architecture can be adjusted to become more than visual. The sharing of musical and architectural knowledge has potential to find places and spaces that are still being discovered to the human and non-human mind. What is beautiful is the sound of life combined with the vision of life. Music does not have to be bound and guided by a set of technical rules and form. The point is that music is everything: the animals, the plants, the earth, and human beings. Music has the power to heal and move life forward. There is an avoidance of art culture in modern times. Music is medicine. Architecture has a special place in the healing transformation of mother earth. Designers and artists of all walks of life can let go of all barriers to what is limiting the healing of the home we all share - earth. We are all born musicians - most of us aren’t aware.
