He was all about the fans &mdash; this would remember his music, which is his legacy.&rdquo; Prince died last Thursday at the Paisley Park estate. An autopsy was conducted, but the cause of death has yet to be announced. His remains were later cremated.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Named after Prince's song of the same name, Paisley Park is located outside of Minneapolis. The $10 million, 65,000-square-foot space housed more than just the musician's private residence: it included recording studios, offices, and a nightclub.</p><p>The complex was built in 1987 and designed by Bret Thoeny of <a href="http://archinect.com/firms/cover/4996911/boto-design-architects" target="_blank">BOTO Design</a>.&nbsp;</p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/zv/zv0v0ky6a8ctiv0s.jpg"></p><p>For more news from the intersection of music and art, check out these links:</p><ul><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/149941806/take-a-look-at-these-installations-from-this-year-s-coachella-festival" target="_blank">Take a look at these installations from this year's Coachella Festival</a></li><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/149935964/sex-pistols-graffiti-secures-famous-tin-pan-alley-building-grade-2-listed-status" target="_blank">Sex Pistols graffiti secures famous Tin Pan Alley building Grade 2* listed status</a></li><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/147829447/beyonc-filmed-her-nola-themed-formation-video-at-this-historic-pasadena-mansion" target="_blank">Beyonc&eacute; filmed her NOLA-themed "Formation" video at this historic Pasadena mansion</a></li><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/144515110/take-a-listen-to-the-nyt-s-beautiful-sonic-portraits-of-architectural-spaces" target="_blank">Take a listen to the NYT's beautiful sonic portraits of architectural spaces</a></li></ul>
