Many urban environments often feel disconnected from nature and fail to provide meaningful ways for people of all ages to interact, explore, and learn. In response, the original Kinematic Pavilion installation has been adaptively transformed into a musical architecture through the collaboration of architects, musicians, and craftsmen, offering an interactive and multi-sensory experience. Set in the Sampireun Forest, Bintaro, this project merges architecture with music in the form of a percussion instrument dome that blends harmoniously with natural surroundings, featuring simple, DIY musical tools crafted from sustainable building materials.
These instruments are designed to be inclusive and accessible to everyone—children, the elderly, and people with disabilities—making public spaces more welcoming and functional for all. The thongophone instruments, made from lead-free PVC pipes and eco-friendly paint with psychedelic patterns, are tuned to various scales, allowing anyone, regardless of musical knowledge or skill, to play structured melodies and engage in music-making. The pedestal flooring and percussion drums, crafted from recycled plastic and rice husks, generate a range of sounds. Additionally, the two small rotating domes, woven from discarded curtain fabric, create intricate perforated patterns reminiscent of a stage curtain.
