" A HOUSE FOR PINK FLOYD "
The main idea that generated the building is the evolution of a song, similar to the evolution of human consciousness. The notes lead to a more reckless melody that eventually turns into a set of symbolic sounds,
unavailable for the one who didn’t listen to the song from the first few seconds. This forming spiritual experience can be achieved also through the dynamics of spaces.
The first welcome areas are close to the common orthogonal space, but climbing the stairs, take one to more and more challenging spaces. The journey of the human spirit is similar. As we advance in time, our mind tends to overcome physiological obstacles and discovers new, deeper levels of meaning of awareness.
The final goal is the untouchable celestial level of perfectness, the true meaning of life, all achievable after an
explosion of one’s self that liberates the mind into the pure, the simple, and the absolute. The initiate climb of stairs takes the visitor through a path that ends in monumentally high spaces, mirrors create psychedelic moments, and indulge for meditation.
The two faces united by the staircase unit, show the continuous duality in everything. We understand the world in contrasts and comparisons. The two faces are made up from spaces made up similarly, and bound by a sinuous path.
Walls protect and help the steady but constant growth of human nature and act freely when they are used as filters for individuals that choose a particular space. The choice makes them a group of personalities with common preferences and helps each human being to act freely, in their group, where they are accepted as who they are, for what they are, and each unique. Where the filters fail, the masses take over the plot and form that mass of moving black, the crowd which kills the individuality, and quantity overcomes quality and the true
prison of souls.

Terraces tend to show this paradox, open spaces seem more restrictive than the inside where large glass surfaces open the view. The entire building is like a tower of defense, justlike the protective shell that favors the growth of the fragile.
The destination is audiovisual pavilions that show the activity of Pink Floyd, and makes people reflect on the ideas that lead the group, with a strong spatial and sound experience. As do mirrors reflect the image of the viewer, sounds are reflected, echo form and enhance the feelings.
That’s when we accept everything, even the end.
