A Visual Sound
Charlie Parker may best be known for his contribution to bebop jazz. Creating the spin-off genre, Charlie influenced a great deal of musicians all around the country. In a tribute to his legacy, I plan to create an exhibit reflecting on his core values and contributions to bebop. My floor plan is divided into three sections in hope to symbolically center Charlie's life in the middle of the exhibit. By using spinning doors and glass to separate the space instead of walls, I hope to portray the transparent effect the music industry had on Charlie's life, and the impact Charlie hand within the industry.
The ends of the building will be dedicated to bebop jazz only. Its origins, impact, sound and symbolism will be displayed in the two wings. The glass room in the center is specifically for the life of Charlie Parker. Viewers from outside the building will be able to look into this space, as many outsiders were able to judge the life Charlie lead. It is a way to intrigue people to enter and better understand Charlie's place in the world, the world of music.
I want to utilize spinning doors as a means to place graphics and art. The motion that a door has can be paralleled to bebop music, having a slow or fast tempo depending on the audience flow and time of day. Doors also symbolize many things such as new leafs, passageways, and continuance. All present in Charlie's life.
Visually I want to use white space to emphasis colorful artwork and type. I hope to use wire to mold art as well as construct the doors. Creating a space almost with a feel f industrial design.
this is what I am thinking of for the image bellow
