HOUSE OF JAZZ
How to combine jazz composition and improvisation and integrate it into the creative process of building design? This abstract transformation of musical vibration, along with materials related to the Bronx tradition (brick & metal), is recognized as a universal design principle that gives the building a timeless image.

Good project. Interior and exterior spaces are well resolved and allow the building to function properly. There are a lot of views between spaces that make one want to explore the building. The interior could be more expressive (dark and warm colors and materials). It seems more like a gallery than a jazz venue.
The project idea is to design a house and a home for Jazz. It is a very contextual project which reuses the architectural vocabulary and materiality of the row houses next to it. The project is well solved creating a kind of promenade between inside and outside programs. However, we would have liked that the interior spaces, and specially the performance space, would be more special. On an urban point of view, we would have liked that the House of Jazz would have had more identity.
