 Archimation (Thomas Meyer, Alexander Ware) Musicon Bremen Germany 2000, 3’ “It is a great challenge to build a major regional music center in an historically sensitive context. This fact multiplied by the necessity of responding to new cultural trends of performance, audience participation & urban revitalisation makes the Musicon Bremen into a project of prime significance. The fundamental idea of the Musicon Bremen is to create a new and significant urban space and a major concert hall for Bremen for the overture of the 21st century. By providing dynamic and flexible public spaces both inside and outside the Musicon Bremen a new idea of Musical/Urban/Ecological space is opened. A participatory space is created which has a wide variety of uses, multiple relations and flexible adaptations , offering a vision of the integration of musical culture, urban life and the natural environment.” (Daniel Libeskind Studio, August 1995, from the competition entry). Our short video for the non-profit organisation that is pushing the Musicon Project towards realisation focuses on the building itself, as the jewel in the crown of the ancient Hansa-Stadt Bremen. It combines real footage of the Studio Libeskind model with an ever-faster fly-through through a simple computer model of the interior, showing the possibilities the changing space offers for various uses. Formed in 1993, Archimation is an architectural practice and digital media company providing visual communication for architects, developers and all who are involved with the creation of tomorrow’s built environment. We are all architects, and work on our own projects and competitions when time allows. Having studied (Dipl. Ing.) in Zürich and Berlin, Thomas Meyer finished his education as an architect at the TU Berlin. Professionally he worked in various smaller Berlin offices before becoming project architect architect at Engel + Zillich. He then shifted to the presentation of architecture, working with film, video and computer animation before joining Archimation in 1997. Alexander Ware (B.Arch Architect) arrived in Berlin in 1990 and worked as project architect before joining Archimation in 1997. He has also worked for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in London and has been a guest critic at the Technische Universität Berlin. He holds a Bachelors degree from Cornell University. |
