Soundscape Station
St. Louis is known for its live music scene and deep musical roots. Thousands of tickets are sold each week for shows at The Pageant, Peabody Opera House, and Fox Theatre. These formal music venues follow the standard archetype; audience and performer, stage and stands. Soundscape station proposes the idea that the city, the individual, and the performer switch roles throughout the performance.
The station uses parabolic curvature to amplify the sounds of the street musician, the principal player. The informal music venue is a space where one can listen to music in combination with the intermittent trains and the sounds of the city itself. Located on Delmar Boulevard, at the site of the original 1920’s Depot, the train station creates an end to the unfinished Delmar Loop.
