Description

An incubator for new music and a repository of Canadian Musical culture, this project establishes a space for Community within the building and a place for Cantos in the city, while restoring a unique piece of Calgary's musical heritage to its throne.

The Cantos' Foundation National Music Centre is a bridge from the East to the West and a gateway to the East Village. The collection, the performance spaces and Classrooms are integrated throughout the building to create opportunities for engagement between otherwise isolated communities.

Eddy

The King Eddy is a place where generations of Calgarians have enjoyed music and each other's company; it represents a link to the past of Calgary and to the sonic routes of the community. We honor that past by incorporating it into a new architectural scenario. We've kept the Eddy grounded despite the road literally being pulled out from under him and we have added a new layer that preserves the past and allows it to continue to accrue additional layers of history and meaning.

The Soundscape

The soundscape is the heart of this project. A hollow chamber within the buildings mass, vibrations of air and light move through the space reflecting off of it's walls warming it's surfaces describing it's volume and shape. The soundscape does not just aurally and visually connect spaces, it is the space where a new and larger community is formed around sound.

The Cantos collection is poised to expand and transform, a variety of flexible spaces finely tuned to its needs awaits. These spaces will develop organically just as the existing collection has writing a new story about the relationship of musical instruments to the architecture and culture that surrounds them.
