About
Polyphony: “a style of musical composition employing two or more simultaneous but relatively independent melodic lines” - Merriam Webster Dictionary. This library and music centre challenges the expectations of a traditional library as not only a space for collection and perusal of texts, but as a place for active exchanges of ideas and bustling noise contrary to the expected soundless library.
Music has always connected people, and in an ever-growing urban landscape such as this site in the Don Valley Parkway, it is crucial to maintain this connectivity found through cultural activities. The project allows any user to celebrate the beauty of music with a performance hall, vinyl cafe, practice rooms and instrument borrowing service, as well as a wide catalogue of music-related resources like scores, recordings and history books.
