Sou Fujimoto Architects, a Japanese architecture firm that is renowned for its innovative, creative and highly attractive designs, has well and truly outdone itself with its ability to turn a musical museum in Hungary into a veritable architectural landscape in the urban environment in which it resides.
The 'House of Music' museum, which is situated in a green area of the City Park in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, bears a striking design that is highlighted by its heavily undulating roof, the shape of which is said to be inspired by visualizations of sound waves. What's more, the roof also bears holes of varying sizes, some of which have trees growing right through them.
By paying visual tribute to depictions of sound waves and also encouraging sunlight infiltration while respecting the surrounding forested area, this musical museum makes for a worthy physical space in which to celebrate music and the arts.
