The Telling Room
This project takes visitors on a journey through the evolution of jazz music and its global impact. It highlights key values seen in jazz, illustrating its role in cultural exchange, expression and connection, which is my primary focus for the spaces. I aim to create multicultural environments that promotes connections through jazz music and its ambiance. The layout will allow visitors to explore different floors, each representing various influential locations in the globalisation and development of jazz, focusing on nightlife and jazz venues from around the world, transporting them across eras and promoting cultural exchange. My design concepts prioritise a warm, inviting atmosphere with open areas that encourage social interaction. Ill incorporate spaces for both calm reflection and energetic engagement, along with private and public areas to ensure comfort for all. Lighting will be a key feature, inspired by the dim, warm glow typical of jazz venues, using both original and modern approaches. Each area will reflect the jazz era, blending contemporary elements while preserving the unique, soulful, and intimate vibe of a jazz venue.
