In 2009, I was proud to complete my architectural Masters thesis with my awesome Danish study partner, Mette Bebe Juel. Together, we designed a Performing Arts Centre at a proposed site in the coastal city of Stavanger, Norway. Not satisfied with creating only a "make believe" project, we then set off to Stavanger to publicise our work for real. Our aim was to turn it from fictional to fact. After one amazing month in this charming city, I had talked to architecture firms, the Stavanger Council, Stavanger University, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and local politicians. I also ended up being interviewed by the city newspaper Stavanger Aftenbladet, with an article being published in the newspaper on 3 December 2009.
This article is titled "Do we need this Performing Arts Centre?" where I discuss Stavanger's need for an acoustic performing arts centre and its significance to music professionals, music enthusiasts and the general public. I also present our developed architectural scheme that fuses Nordic and Japanese traditions with acoustic design.
