the complex
SITE
100’x 200’ plot of land in a pine forest, located at 45° North Latitude.
PROMPT
Thinking about sound, space, form and site, create three towers for three gongs.
EXPLORATION
The Complex addresses the need for a common gathering place on the site. Rather than create three separate structures, the towers are unified into a monumental, monolithic pavilion. Sited over the valley, the form of the towers amplifies the sound of the gongs across the entire landscape. Each tower is precisely oriented to completely envelope the listeners in sound, creating an atmosphere reflective of the power and intensity of the gong.
