Key Plan
Rendered Floor PlanNTS The otolaryngology offi ce’s design
drew upon the audiology side of the practice as the means of creating the architectural elements and material decisions. Focusing on audiology as the base, it was narrowed further to the concept of text painting in music.
Text painting is the technique of creating a composition that uses the literal meaning of a song to connect action to lyrics. Instead of applying actions to lyrics, though, I wanted to reverse the concept and have human action be visualized using this technique. The purpose was to apply music to human action.
This concept is mainly seen in two major patient areas. The fi rst would be the waiting and reception spaces. The overhead structure creates a visual noise from the main groupings of seats and then dissipates as it turns into the reception, like a crescendo and a decrescendo. The second instance of text painting is seen in the corridors as patients walk to their exam room. The wall “rhythm” details have a uniform distance between them to mimic the tempo footsteps walking through the space.
The materials in the space, the patterns chosen for the fl ooring and upholstery are meant to refl ect the visual noise as well. The other surfaces of the space are kept clean of this static represented in the pattern so what patients are actually experiencing is the music surrounding them in the space.
