Music Square

Music Square for calm evenings in Madona.

Planned works: 1. Carrying out measurements for the Music Square and preparing the project for the placement area of objects and lighting. 2. Construction of the actual square and electrical installation works. 3. Creation of metal sound objects and the design and construction of sculptural benches. 4. Installation of environmental objects. Preventively, the square can be supplemented in the future with other sounding sculptural and design objects.

Object: Benches The main idea and form are based on the location of Madona on the map of Latvia and on the city’s hilly terrain. The objects serve both functionally, as resting and lighting elements, and as abstract, flowing forms in the urban environment.

Object: Metal Drums Both functional and decorative sculptural urban objects. The sizes and installation heights of the objects are deliberately chosen to be different, to avoid excessive crowding at a single element, and to ensure accessibility for different age and social groups. The drums are intended as sounding urban objects, allowing visitors to create their own atmosphere and music.

The main idea of the work arose from and is based on the name of one of the city’s offered object locations — the Music Square.
Music is the unifying element of the entire proposed design solution. The environmental object is created as a place to rest, to create one’s own musical or sound atmosphere, as well as a place to play or simply sit.
Both functional and visually enjoyable for practically all social groups.

The basic forms of the objects are deliberately made somewhat cosmic and abstract, emphasizing that Madona is a young, growing city.
The forms of the benches and the square are based on Madona’s natural forms and terrain — hilly and with many small rivers.
The forms of the sounding objects — drums — are derived from the circle, the symbol of completeness.
The rooster engraved on them is a visual addition, the city’s symbol and a wake-up call.

All objects form a common, unified “music island,” a single composition, but each of them can also be made as an independent, free-standing object.
