Recapturing Poche Spaces in Concert Halls

Concert halls consist of two forms. The engineered form of the auditorium and the expressive form shaped by the envelope. But between these two forms lies a third:

Poche Space

Amidst the grandeur of concert hall spaces, attendees forget about this architectural element. I want to take the opportunity to reclaim this space.

This thesis explores the reimagining of poche space within concert halls, focusing on its reshaping in terms of shape, form, and program. The incorporation of music notation and transcription influences its shape, while Boolean methods contribute to its form. Ultimately, this approach leads to an architectural transformation that not only affects the spatial arrangements within contemporary concert halls but also has the potential to redefine the performance itself.
