The Hive is an architectural instrument or an acoustic hideaway. It's a space which is structurally resonant, and dimensionally attuned. It filters, moulds, and embodies sonic activity, fitting it with a harmonic and tonal sensibility. It's a place in which the heard hopes to triumph over the mundane; where people are encouraged to participate with the space audibly, or to play with sound spatially. In a sense, it's a project that came about through a need to facilitate for ideas pertaining to music, recreation, and discourse in the public sphere. The project's conceptual roots came into focus as a means of exploring the overlap between the languages inherent in both music and architecture, with the ways in which we compose, arrange, and structure music, having an application as to how we adapt, shape, and orchestrate measures or scales to suit our architectural needs.
The structures (or Hives) themselves, are intended to influence the nature and the manner in which we respond to one another, framing interaction, and guiding the overall tone of convocations happening wherein. The focuses here are not only to actively seek participation in the pursuit of making noise but also and, perhaps more distinctly, to indulge in the act of communal listening.
