Moving Elements (Music-Architecture Theory) 

Moving Element 1: 

I was inspired by the OperaLab Pavillion, where people can move up and down in their seats.  

I tried making a vertical screen with this idea of moving seats, this could occupy a lecture space where students will have the freedom to "move around" when viewing lecture content. 

When the seats are moving, it looks like music notes on across a stave, 

or even dials on a sound control system. 

Moving Element 2:

Piano Lid "Roof" - I think the mechanism of a piano lid is quite interesting (balance of weights). This could be used for an area in the architecture school, such as a meeting space where the ceiling opens. 

I also find that the interior of a piano has rather interesting qualities, the image below almost looks like a room with some louvers at the top.
