Ürün Detayı
EMPAC is a building like no other. The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Center (EMPAC) is an extraordinary tool for artists and researchers alike. With its concert hall, theater and experimental black box studios, EMPAC combines the ever-expanding potential of digital technology with the most refined details for acoustics, visual production and performing arts. EMPAC is designed without compromise for technology and human experience, from performances and new productions in time-based arts to the creation and navigation of large-scale immersive environments by researchers and engineers. On the campus of the oldest technological university in the United States, EMPAC's vision synthesizes a grand architectural gesture with the complex requirements of a truly interdisciplinary enterprise for the 21st century. Shirley Ann Jackson's foreword describes the vision of a 21st-century research university and EMPAC as a means to enhance a polytechnic institution's culture and provoke innovation. An article by EMPAC director Johannes Goebel focuses on the human dimension, the senses and limits of time-based arts. Articles by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, acoustician R. Lawrence Kirkegaard, theater design consultant Joshua Dachs, and Grimshaw Architects partner William Horgan, who participated in the project from beginning to end, each examine the problem of performance-based design integration and tell stories of the innovations that resulted from its various key features. perspectives. The building and the book do more than promise results. The book, which has been in operation for two years during the writing of EMPAC Architecture, concludes with a supplement complete with events hosted, artists in residence and new productions to date, with the opening concert, excerpts from the opening festival, a building light installation plus a tour of the construction found on a DVD A movie out of time.
