Inspiration

In order to determine my interior space, I have firstly looked at the basic things that would be needed in an African school of music and education. I have done a bubble diagram of the most important things, and maybe through the process certain things will change but this is a starter to come up with a conceptual design. 

Secondly I looked at different images for inspiration that will determine the movement in the space as well as maybe the aesthetic but the important thing is to create a space that respond to the culture it is intended to, and an interesting experience for those who are not African. The idea is to replicate an African environment in a contemporary way that does not exclude African values but rather compliments it contemporary. The images below have been carefully selected because they communicate a very special theme that runs in most traditional African blood. The sense of community and unity, people are always together and in that sense we can say that there is an element of honesty which should be reflected in the architecture. Africans like to be in a community with other Africans, maybe an interior with lots of walls will be the opposite of this idea, maybe the space most contain minimal walls which would allow that honesty in which everything is visible even in ones own space. These images were selected because they communicate the African values and are going to be a starter in gathering idea for the interior space.
