Escola Superior de Musica de Lisboa (website in Portuguese)
Here are some links to websites showing my initial ideas on what sort of concept I would like my project to follow. As my main interest was with music within Portuguese culture I decided to research buildings that had similar concepts, starting with Manchester I looked at the Corner house although this is not just music it has quite a diverse range of topics such as art and film as well as having a cafe/restaurant area. I then decided to go on and look at music museums in Portugal and came across Museo Do Fado which is self explanatory really in that it is a museum of music and instruments of music. As I had done a museum already with my last project I didnt want to end up using the same theme this time round purely so I didnt get bored. I then came up with the idea that my space could be a Portuguese music school, where people of all races/background could attend, they would pay a fee like a student and be taught by Portuguese teachers different types of Portuguese music/instruments/singing lessons/language lessons. Maybe the students could live on site and could be hired to perform at other venues or even on site in a specially designed room or as the winery is already there I could add a cafe/Restaurant and the students could perform there to paying customers. I then looked at RNCM in Manchester which is obviously on a much larger scale but shows the same sort of theme.
