nNARRATIVE| terminal studio2009-2010
ALLIED WORKS ARCHITECTS GRADUATE TERMINAL STUDIOBound within are the works and thought process developed in my final terminal design studio. Beginning in the fall of 2009 and culminating in the spring of 2010 the studio focused on Portland Oregons Rose Quarter. Integral to the studio was an in depth look into the making and craft of creating capital A Architecture. In addition to formulating a new urban design concept for the Rose Quarter we were asked to designed a new type of institution. This institution was deemed the Music Innovation Center, and it set out to combine performance, col-lections, and education spaces into a new type of experience.
I began with the formation of a thought process upon which my design concepts could grow. Vital to the intent of the studio, I then worked to develop a strong and concise central concept to which I then sys-tematically explained and visualized. In the end the visceral and emo-tional qualities of the spaces and structure created are the defining aspects of the project. Visitors are lead on a procession of sensory experiences that transform, focus, and alter perceptions. Author

WHAT IS ITThe Portland Music Innovation Center is a new type of building. Blending performance, education, and collections the institution pro-vides a in depth look into Portlands music culture. From the roots of the past to flashes in to the future, the Portland Music Innovation Center provides an array of extraordinary sensory experiences sure to heighten ones perception and awareness of the unique and incred-ibly rich sub culture that comprises an integral part of Portland Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGYThe Portland Music Innovation Center is conceived from four organi-zational strategies combined to create one new innovative institution - The corkscrew of Portland specific music collections - The anchoring of twin civic performance places - Field distributed pockets of educational spaces - The random occurrence of sensory experiences
The simple form of the spiral interacting with a field of scattered points make the PMIC both diligent and lively. The curious tourist, the third geration Portlander, and casual game day visitor will all find a new appreciation of Portlands music culture. Through a series of sensory heightening experiences visitors from all walks of life will leave the PMIC with preconceptions forever altered.

THE ROSE QUARTERPerhaps the most identifiable region with-in the Portland metro area, the Rose Quarter is home to two both Memorial Coliseum and the Rose Garden Arena, two of the most iconic buildings in the city. Situ-ated at the crossroads of transit, entertainment, and fledgeling urban fabric the current state of the Rose Quarter is bleak at best. Today the Rose Quarter is essentially a urban island cut off from much of its im-mediate context and dependent upon large scripted events to main-tain its viability. While it is true that the Rose Quarter remains vacant for large portions of the day it is important to note that the in the 2008 calender year the Rose Quarter hosted more people on its grounds than any other venue in the world. With such global visibility it is the hope of this project that through the use of program, this critical mass will be absorbed and informed, activating the site throughout all hours of the day and transforming this entertainment district in to a Portland cultural asset envious of the region and nation alike.

Providing a sight and sound sampling of PDX and the region, the Portland Music Innovation Center unites culture, education, and entertainment as only music can.
Acting as a civic amenity in the sense that the building provides a service to the community, whether visited or not, the Portland music and innovation center begins to span traditional physical media with emerging social medias.
Calling upon the rich musical history that was Jump-town the building educates visitors in the past and speaks to the current and now through interactive exhibitions and live feeds from throughout the region.
The porosity from the fracturing of the center enables patrons of different walks of life, and with various amounts of physical contact with the site to interact with one another and the building.

NARRATIVEThe duality of stone and steel make up the structural and material systems for the Music Innovation Center. As visitors perceptions are heightened and ones understanding of the Portland underground music culture becomes more clear, so do the buildings material and structural expression. Raw materials change into finely crafted ones and structure shifts from monolithic to tensile. Corten evolves into stainless steel cable and rough boulders transform into glass. All through the building the duality of the stone and steel are percent, yet through ones experience and procession with the MIC the qualities of the materials begin to transcend.

PMICPORTLAND MUSIC INNOVATION CENTER
Optic Kin
WHAT THE HELL IS ITThe Portland Music Innovation Center is a new type of building. Blending performance, education, and collections the institution provides a indepth look into Portlands music culture. From the roots of the past to flashes in to the future, the Portland Music Innovation Center provides an array of extraordinary sensory experiences sure to heighten ones per-ception and awareness of the unique and incredibly rich sub culture that comprises an integral part of Portland Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
THE ROSE QUARTERPerhaps the most identifiable region with-in the Portland metro area, the Rose Quarter is home to two both Memorial Co-losium and the Rose Garden Arena, two of the most iconic buildings in the city. Situated at the crossroads of transit, en-tertainment, and fledgeling urban fabric the current state of the Rose Quarter is bleak at best. Today the Rose Quarter is essentially a urban island cut off from much of its immediate context and dependent upon large scripted events to maintain its viability. While it is true that the Rose Quarter remains vacant for large portions of the day it is important to note that the in the 2008 calender year the Rose Quarter hosted more people on its grounds than any other venue in the world. With such global visibility it is the hope of this project that through the use of program, this critical mass will be absorbed and informed, activating the site throughout all hours of the day and transforming this entertainment district in to a Portland cultural asset envious of the region and nation alike.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGYThe Portland Music Innovation Center is conceived from four organizational strategies combined to create one new in-novative institution - The corkscrew of Portland specific music collections - The anchoring of twin civic performance places - Field distributed pockets of educational spaces - The random occurance of sensory experiences
The simple form of the spiral interacting with a field of scattered points make the PMIC both diligent and livley. The curious tourist, the third geration Portlander, and casual game day visitor will all find a new appreciation of Portlands music culture. Through a series of sensory heightening experiences visitors from all walks of life will leave the PMIC with preconseptions forever altered.
