HORST ATELIER - Leopald Banchini and DVS1
Worked as a volunteer at Horst Music and Arts Festival, helping to build the ‘Dark Skies’ stage. This project is a collaboration between Leopald Banchini Architects and DJ, DVS1. The idea was to create a timber structure spanning 30x30m which would have 6 tonnes of speakers hanging from it. This way the sound becomes democratic, since wherever you stand in the audience you will be beneath a speaker allowing you to have the same audio experience regardless of your distance from the DJ booth. I worked closely with others to help finish the final structure, including building DJ booth roofs and working in real time to solve problems with how the materials would respond to the sound check. I learnt a lot about transferring architectural drawings to real life construction, learning to adapt and make amendments to the initial drawings along the way.
