Space-- It is located in the middle of Peabody Park, which contains many trees and a stream. It makes the building look bigger as it sits on a hill, with the stream below the bridge. It all seems to flow with it's natural surroundings with the different shapes and lines.
Power-- The circular entrance expressed dominance and attracts the viewer down across from College Ave. The repetition in columns around the circular front helps create this.
Experience-- Having to walk down the bridge and through the woods create a breath taking experience.
Principles-- By knowing that this is a place where music is made, the half circles flowing on the bridge create the illusion on music flowing through song and also through sheet music.
Precedent-- Creates a flow through the brick circular entrance to the glass windows then it seems to go on through the brick wall. It is supposed to be dramatic and noticeable to show pretencion.Site-- It is on a hill in the woods, the bridge creates an artistic view of the building, which is good for a music building.
Order-- The order of the way that it is laid out creates the flow. The circle, the stacks of the windows, and the trees.
Scale-- Coming upon the entrance, it is almost overwhelming, but then it becomes more spread out as you look down across the brick.
Technology-- The uses of steel to create the bridge to walk over the stream is on use of technology. Another is the huge window that creates a stack to let the light in and bring warmth into the building.
Surface-- Many materials are used: brick, cement, steal, glass, and stone. The surface of this building gives off warmth.
