Taqasim Music School

The Arabic music school aims to use a structure in which provides a place students can be passionate and innovative with music. This multifaceted system will not only act as a tool for the improvement of children’s intellectual ability, but it will also be the generator of the building’s structural geometry and spatial organization. The goals are to expose the youth to a highly sophisticated, yet free and tactile genre of music at an early age. This genre will give the youth a genuine understanding of freedom of expression through improvisation, it will help keep music alive as a primary subject in elementary education, it will raise an educational awareness of Arabic culture that many locals can relate to, and it will provide a new anchor point that attracts visitors to the newly developed district of Hunter’s Point.
