Folding the notes. "When Architecture meets Music. BOZAR and ARS MUSICA have joined forces with designer Charles Kaisin, architect Nicolas Beernaert and their first and second year design students* from the Brussels University, UCL Saint-Luc [LOCI], in an experiment to combine architecture and contemporary classical music.
The bar of the Center for Fine Arts, built by Belgian Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta, was showcasing the result of the union. The students examined, conceived and then realized a sculptural representation of how they hear music. Using hand-folded fireproof paper, dyed pink with beetroot juice, the students have created individual works of origami, each in the form of a compass. The combined result was a dome of almost 4000 works, of varying sizes, representing the notes played by different instruments in a melody, designed to over-arch the audience during their interval discussions."
