Casa della Musica

The Music School of Pieve di Cento is a project born with the desire to give space and facilities to the two schools of music in the municipality. The architectural language used is inspired by the deeply rooted musical tradition of the city.

The composition is made by 9 "little houses", made of a wooden diaphragm that allows the harmonic box of the instruments to contain and amplify the sounds.

The result is a covered square that houses inside small single-instrument musical laboratories, circular in shape, communicating with a square that acts as a distributive element and at the same time a common place to stop for the sharing of music and open to the community.

There is an ongoing project that aims to connect the Music School connecting the city center by a cycle path.
Externally illuminated, during the night, the Music School appears to the citizens as a constant reference point, a lantern of comfort to encourage the resumption of musical and recreational activities after the earthquake’s discomfort.
