The studio’s circular shape dismisses the front side-back side logic of a conventional building and produces a non-hierarchical shape that becomes most appropriate in its context of public space. The circular footprint also maximizes its surrounding public space, allowing the recording studio to become more of a sculpture rather than a building. Because the program of the studio has different requirements for clear heights, the roof elevation is strategically varied to form three peaks. These peaks occur at the live room, artists’ private lounge, and academy studios to provide generous space to its users, creating a playful yet elegant roof line reminiscent of the fluidity of sound. The form is then optimized to produce a series of equal horizontal modules that maintain the readability of the undulating roof edge and efficiency of the building structure.

Seine Nachtlichter sind das Ergebnis seiner schnellen Urbanisierung und der wachsenden Zahl von Pilgern, die die Stadt jedes Jahr besuchen. Die Große Moschee von Mekka und andere Wahrzeichen werden nachts beleuchtet und tragen zur Lichtverschmutzung der Stadt bei. Es werden Anstrengungen unternommen, um die Lichtverschmutzung in der Stadt zu reduzieren, aber es ist noch mehr Arbeit erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass der Nachthimmel für kommende Generationen sichtbar bleibt.

A series of public programs simultaneously wrap the library on the outside and inside, above and below. Twisting the public program into a continuous spiraling path tracing the library on all sides, creates an architectural organization that combines the virtues of all complimenting models. Like a Möbius strip, the public programs move seamlessly from the inside to the outside and from ground to the sky providing spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and growing city skyline.
