ALVISI KIRIMOTO PARTNER +TA.R.I-Architects Today, fewer and fewer people are going to attend concerts or live shows, due to the busy life and the lack of free time for personal passions. The Music District proposes an urban place ready to welcome not only the spectators, but to involve especially the visitors crossing through the area, showing the musical spaces from everywhere to attract the citizens. It is a space devoted to music, that shows its heterogeneous facets through very different spaces. People can share the musical experience together in the Main Hall or in the flexible one, in the Outdoor Theater or in the Performance Square enforcing the relationship between musicians and people. This is not just an unchangeable building, but the natural extension of the dynamic urban surrounding, able to embrace people allowing to get away from everyday life in favor of music.
