The Historic Third Ward Music Corridor

Abstract

The urban corridor engages and accumulates unique relationships between its users and its landscape. This interaction is both visual and musical (aural) in nature. Studying similarities in musical and cultural relations I will relate the landscape to the dynamic diversity of the urban corridor user. Music, in the realm of fine art, can be a universal language; although often spoken in different dialects is as inherent as the human spirit. The underlying premise of this design is that the qualities of separate musical genres can generate linking forms, uniting disparate parts of a high density population through their physical interpretation in the landscape.
