Busoni was a key figure in the discourse around musical modernism and his ideas resonate just as much – perhaps more so – today. The act of republishing the essay, Sketch of a New Aesthetic of Music, is a kind of mission statement for what I hope to develop with Precinct.

ESCAPE THROUGH THE VOIDby Lorenz Adriaens, AA 3rd Year Intermediate Unit 13

A challenge of Night School is the distinction between the audiences that we are trying to address. There’s a way in which we think Night School can make a case for architecture as an integral, popular part of culture rather than an esoteric act.
