“Locus Solus (2024)” is an architectural endeavor inspired by Tomás Marco’s musical composition of the same name. It interprets the interplay of consonance, dissonance, and rhythm through the language of curved and rectilinear structures, mirroring the releases and tensions within the music. Flow became an incredibly important element regarding the movements on and off the curved ramps. As visitors navigate the space, they traverse through moments of stability and discord, echoing the flow of musical motifs, ultimately culminating in a spatial experience that reflects the composition’s dialogue between harmony and rhythm.
