Introduction and theme

The design of the Bandstand will be a visual and audio showcase of sound recordings incorporating different aspects of the local environment and community: Play, Nature and Geology.

Through a linked project specific website, the audience will be able to access a collection of sound artworks collated during a community engagement strategy.

The design of the structure and the decorative elements including a paving design will present the bandstand as ‘recording machine’ with references to dials found on a radio, an amplifier and speakers.

The development of key aspects of the bandstand’s design during the engagement phase will allow for a direct contribution to its design.

In short the design of the bandstand will reflect its purpose as a place to present community based performance, music and art.
