Участникам конкурса предлагается разработать проект нового музыкального центра в Токио. Архитектурное решение должно соответствовать современным тенденциям, не только отражать тему культуры и искусства, но также органично вписываться в существующую городскую среду. Организаторы предлагают конкурсантам подумать над тем, что связывает музыку и архитектуру, и продемонстрировать эту связь в своих проектах.

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the center of the greater Tokyo area. The city is in the region on the southeastern side of the main island and is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.
Music comes from the Greek “mousike” in relation to an art inspired by muses. Music is the art of combining sounds and silences, in a way that creates harmony and usually trans- mits an emotion. “Music and Architecture are the only arts that surround you”. A music Centre can also be know as a “Performing Arts Centre” hosting a variety of classical, contemporary such as jazz, world music and to present other forms of music accompanied performances.
The aim of this International Competition is to design a new Music Centre in the heart of Tokyo. The architecture of this new building should reflect contemporary design tendencies.

To generate the discussion of ideas regarding the relation between Architecture and Music.
