M03: Instruments of disharmony, Tasmajdan, Belgrade

The project within the M03 studio represents an experimental infrastructure that seeks to re-examine the boundaries between music and architecture by pointing out specific environmental problems caused by noise pollution, while perceiving architecture as an instrument and while posing the question of storing sound material a unique trace of this civilization. The project aims to simulate the set elements of the concept at the selected location of Tasmajdan Park, in Belgrade.
The system of basic elements of the program consists of a microphone, a resonant box, a sound laboratory and capsules for its storage. These elements communicate through three levels of publicity: the microphone and the resonant box are defined as public space, the sound laboratory as semi-public, while the sound storage capsules are completely inaccessible.
A hypersensitive microphone is placed above the Tasmajdan stadium, which also represents its new canopy. It collects and transmits all sounds in a radius of 250m to a resonant box that represents the body of the instrument and in which there is a transformation and revision of the collected material. The resonant box also marks an element of the vertical communication infrastructure that leads to a program positioned underground, in the Miocene Reef. The underground program includes a laboratory for sound processing and recording, where experimental compositions are made from the collected sounds, where the level of noise pollution is studied and measured, and where methods for storing sound material are developed. The mentioned storage is performed at the lowest level of the infrastructure, the deepest in the rock, in order to leave a trace for future generations who will live on this soil. The Tasmajdan Miocene Reef is one of the reference points in Belgrade that connects with the oldest known past, the Neogene period, and has remained intact through countless historical transitions - so it can be assumed that this location has the greatest potential to connect with the most distant moment in time. concludes that it represents an adequate place to leave a trace of our civilization, a trace in the form of sound - a universal language understandable to all civilizations. In this regard, storage is automated and not related to the human factor, thus ensuring the certainty of its survival in the context of the future.
Also, the project envisages a walkway that connects to the existing lagoons, and which will enable passage under the stadium, as well as technical rooms, exhibition space and toilets.
